At Steed Cycles, our team has a front-row seat to the latest and greatest in cycling gear. From new components to the most eye-catching apparel, we see it all. And as avid cyclists ourselves, we won’t pretend there’s no temptation. When something new arrives, it’s hard not to want to spoil ourselves a little.
This holiday season, we asked our staff to share what’s at the top of their wish lists across different price points. Whether you’re shopping for a cycling enthusiast or dropping hints for your own wishlist, we’ve got inspiration that will make Christmas shopping a breeze.
Knog Plus Bike Light Twinpack 40 / 20 Lumens
Good option if you're looking for a thoughtful, useful gift. These lights are rechargeable via built‑in USB (no cables to lose), waterproof for rainy rides, ultralight so it won’t weigh them down, and with multiple light modes (steady, strobe, pulse, flash, eco‑flash) to match different conditions.
"This light punches way above its weight!" Pat - Retail Store Supervisor
Mons Royale Atlas Merino Crew Socks
No better stocking stuffer than merino socks. Cyclists never seem to have enough pairs — and that makes the Atlas Merino Crew Sock a perfect little gift. These socks hit the sweet spot: just the right length, with light cushioning underfoot, breathable mesh zones, and a snug, non‑slip fit that stays put even during long rides.
" These socks are comfortable, merino, moisture wicking, and perfect for cooler temps" Hayden - Sales Associate
OneUp EDC V2 Tool
We love gifts that keep on giving. The OneUp Components EDC V2 Tool is compact and versatile, perfectly at home tucked in your stem or paired with an EDC Pump (another of our favorite gifts under $100!). With this tool on hand, your loved ones can tackle tricky situations on the trail or rack up some serious karma by helping fellow riders.
"I love this tool because it's compact and so easy to carry" Hayden - Sales Associate
Muc-Off Bike Wash & Drivetrain Essentials Kit
We believe cleaning products make great gifts, any time of year.
"A clean bike is a happy bike. This kit has everything you will need for that post winter ride cleaning. The wash solution works extremely well for stripping the dirt off the bike without being harsh on components and frames, while the drivetrain cleaner strips dirt and grime away before applying a fresh coat of chain lube." Branden - Warehouse Operations Manager
ALMSTHRE Signature Bar Bag
Some presents are loved because they solve everyday problems and this bar bag is one of them. The Almsthre Signature keeps essentials right where riders can grab them—no fumbling in pockets, no jiggly straps. It’s solid, stylish, and sized just right for everyday rides or overnight trips. Give this, and you’re giving fewer excuses to leave home without a snack, a spare, or a phone
"Great functionality and looks great, well designed and thought out." Pat - Retail Store Supervisor
Crankbrothers Candy Lace Gravel/XC Shoes
For the rider who’s always chasing new routes (and a few dirt detours), these Crankbrothers Candy Gravel XC Lace Shoes make an amazing gift. They’re comfortable, durable, and clip in with ease — perfect for long gravel days, weekend XC loops, or anyone upgrading their setup for the season.
"This is a gravel shoe I would be proud to wear at a fancy dinner out with my partner!" Pat - Retail Store Supervisor
Silca Elettrico Mini Inflator
We’re convinced: electric pumps are the future of roadside repairs. Small, quick, and effortless to use, this one has converted nearly all our staff.
"Picture yourself roadside fixing a flat - we’ve all been there, pumping away with a tiny hand pump just to reach “good enough.” Now imagine hitting a button and letting the device do the work for you, getting your tire up to a solid, ride-ready pressure while leaving your CO2 and hand pump at home." Marshall - Purchasing
Park Tool Portable Repair Stand
Every cyclist needs a repair stand. Muddy ride? Squeaky chain? Flat tire? The Park Tool PCS-10.3 holds your bike steady, rotates for easy access, and keeps tools close. Cleaning, adjusting, fixing, it makes it all simple and fun, plus it folds away neatly when done.
"Which limit screw do I turn again? If tinkering on your bike is a hobby, this stand will look great on you. Sturdy, adjustable height with a tool tray. There are also different mounting options, materials, features and price points available on other models." Hayden - Sales Associate
Shimano SH-GE900GTX Shoes
Although many staff members embrace winter more than others, almost all of us don't put the bike away in the coldest months. Shimano recently launched these new shoes and we believe they'll make any mountain biker happier this winter.
"I recently had the pleasure of trying this shoe and have to say it gets 5 out of 5 stars. The main body of the shoe offers great water protection as well as some insulation for those wet and cold rides. Some waterproof shoes can feel bulky on the foot and a vague feeling on the pedal but not this one. What's nice is having a fit that is like a summertime shoe but with all the benefits you need to stay comfortable this time of year." Branden - Warehouse Operations Manager
