That should be easy, right? Not necessarily.<\/p>\n<p>Often it can feel like us cyclists already own every gadget they need. We can be a picky bunch, too. Present-wise, what that tends to leave is gimmicky throwaways (see: bicycle-shaped pizza cutter), which will make the person smile on Christmas day, but will likely never get touched afterwards.<\/p>\n<p id=\"c2da8401-cfcf-4dfa-87da-97b905f4dd49-2\">To help you find something useful, I asked my colleagues \u2013 some of whom have ridden and raced thousands of miles this year \u2013 what they <em>really <\/em>want for Christmas.

class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<p>On my wish list this year is something that isn&#8217;t a cycling product, and also something I never thought I&#8217;d want or own: an electric shoe dryer. Essentially, it&#8217;s a low-powered hairdryer you hang your shoes off. In years gone by such an item would have been met with an eye roll from me. Pointless consumerism. But earlier this year I had to throw out a perfectly good, albeit well worn, pair of shoes because they stank out our shoe cupboard after a particularly wet and sweaty ride. Despite rigorous cleaning they never fully recovered and my family ganged up on me and my smelly shoes. My hope is the dryer will keep my current shoes in service for longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop on Amazon UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop on Amazon US<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-person-FXox8p8fpFtFSdtWT4cs8Z-ASf5mfmtd4OtHbudCR2Ml8bRYn2nofCN\" class=\"slice-container person-wrapper person-FXox8p8fpFtFSdtWT4cs8Z-ASf5mfmtd4OtHbudCR2Ml8bRYn2nofCN slice-container-person\">\n<div class=\"person person--separator\">\n<div class=\"person__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"person__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/cMuF6wZ9PLyt94FAnbEHD8-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 700px) 140px, 100px\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cmuf6wz9plyt94fanbehd8.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cmuf6wz9plyt94fanbehd8.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/cmuf6wz9plyt94fanbehd8.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"person__heading\">\n<div class=\"person__name-socials\"><span class=\"person__name\">Meg Elliot<\/span><\/div>\n<aside class=\"person__role\">News Writer<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-container standard-product-container\">\n<div class=\"product-block-row\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_standard\" data-id=\"e30aa2e3-64ef-423b-bcb7-fe79fa447af8\" id=\"e30aa2e3-64ef-423b-bcb7-fe79fa447af8\">\n<div class=\"product-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check>\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-1600-80.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-768-80.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-415-80.jpg.webp 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-360-80.jpg.webp 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/rTap28eHe9LyGmebqpoFvM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_title_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured__title\"><b>Fish-Ski Feed Bag <\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<p>I love colour \u2013 having a burst of something bright attached to my frame makes any gloomy ride infinitely more enjoyable.

It doesn&#8217;t matter how well you try and look after your overshoes, they are constantly in harm&#8217;s way out on the road or trail, and as a result take a beating. I tend to put mine away in summer thinking they&#8217;ll be fine for another season of riding, only to rediscover them in less-than-ideal condition when the temperatures have started to drop again. Receive a fresh pair for Christmas and you&#8217;ll be all set come spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop overshoes at Sigma Sports UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop overshoes at Tredz UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop overshoes at Competitive Cyclist US<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-block-row\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_standard\" data-id=\"3d115d8b-646e-4af6-9e2e-079a2a1daa93\" id=\"3d115d8b-646e-4af6-9e2e-079a2a1daa93\">\n<div class=\"product-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check>\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-1920-80.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-1600-80.jpg.webp 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-1280-80.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-768-80.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-415-80.jpg.webp 415w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-360-80.jpg.webp 360w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CecoSYNM35FoXQqF6FYJk-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 710px) 670px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_title_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"featured__title\"><b>Pirelli P Zero SmarTubes <\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<p><em>Chosen by Adam Becket (News Editor)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think one of my favourite kinds of Christmas present is when it\u2019s something I <em>could<\/em> just buy for myself, but have never got round to.
