The Line’s 2026 Gift Guide
Wheelie-Great Gifts for Every Rider on Your List
Whether you’re shopping for mountain bikers, gravel grinders, weekend path cruisers, or tiny shredders just getting started, we’ve rounded up our favorite rider-tested gifts of the season — from stocking stuffers to premium upgrades. Every item on this list is something we carry at The Line and something we trust on our own rides.
Let’s get gifting.
🎁 Stocking Stuffers & Small Riding Essentials
SKS Airchecker — Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
Tire pressure is one of the biggest “feel” differences riders can make — and this little tool makes it foolproof. The SKS Airchecker gives quick, accurate readings for both Presta and Schrader valves, so riders can dial their pressure perfectly whether they’re prepping for hero dirt, grinding long gravel miles, or heading out on a winter commute.
Why it’s great: Consistent tire pressure improves traction, comfort, efficiency, and overall ride confidence. This tool removes the guesswork, especially in winter when PSI swings more dramatically.
Best for: Every rider — MTB, gravel, road, commuter, and winter riders who want trustworthy PSI data before every ride.
Gift appeal: One of those tiny upgrades that instantly levels up every bike ride. It’s the stocking stuffer riders never knew they needed (but immediately start using all the time).
Dynaplug Tubeless Plug Kit
A tubeless rider’s best friend. Dynaplug is the quickest way to fix a puncture mid-ride — plug it, spin it, and keep rolling. It’s compact, easy to carry, and has saved more trailside tantrums than we can count.
Why it’s great: It seals punctures in seconds without removing the wheel or wrestling a tube into a messy sealant-filled tire. A lifesaver on long gravel days, rooty PNW singletrack, and road rides far from home.
Best for: Anyone running tubeless tires: trail riders, downhill riders, gravel explorers, road cyclists, and bikepackers.
Gift appeal: The most heroic “small gift” out there. When it saves a ride, your gift basically becomes legendary.
Tubolito Lightweight Tubes
These ultralight, super-packable tubes are a minimalist dream. Perfect as primary tubes or emergency spares, Tubolitos take up barely any space and weigh far less than traditional tubes.
Why it’s great: For riders counting grams or packing light, Tubolito reduces rotational weight and frees up space in bike bags and tool kits. They’re also durable and long-lasting despite their small size.
Best for: Road cyclists wanting speed, gravel riders who carry multiple spares, XC racers, and adventure riders who obsess over weight savings.
Gift appeal: Slim, bright, and surprisingly premium — riders instantly appreciate having something this useful in their kit.
Spurcycle Original & Compact Bells
Made in the USA and known across the cycling world as the premium bike bell, Spurcycle bells are elegant, durable, and loud in a clean, crisp way that cuts through trail noise without being abrasive. With multiple colorways, they look as good as they sound.
Why it’s great:
Spurcycle bells have a signature “linger chime” tone that carries far down the trail or path, making them perfect for shared-use singletrack or the Snoqualmie Valley trail system. They’re beautifully engineered, weatherproof, and built to last a lifetime.
Best for:
Mountain bikers, gravel riders, road riders, and commuters who want a refined, high-quality way to communicate on the trail without startling other users.
Gift appeal:
A small-but-mighty upgrade. This is the bell riders brag about, show off, and keep forever.
Ass Saver Wing Saver Fender
Rainy season rides are part of life in the PNW, and this little fender is a miracle worker. Pops on quickly, weighs basically nothing, and keeps that telltale stripe of mud and cold water off your back.
Why it’s great: It helps riders stay dry, comfortable, and far less crunchy after wet winter miles. Works great on gravel bikes, mountain bikes, commuters — pretty much everything.
Best for: Year-round riders, winter riders, gravel grinders, and daily commuters.
Gift appeal: A low-cost, high-impact essential that riders appreciate the second they hit their first puddle.
Smartwool Bike Socks
Merino wool for the win. These socks keep feet warm without overheating, wick moisture amazingly well, and feel great across long rides. Winter riding feels instantly better with good socks.
Why they’re great: Merino regulates temperature, resists stink, and dries fast. A game-changer for wet or cold-weather cycling.
Best for: Every rider who rides in shoulder season or winter — from casual cruisers to hardcore winter commuters.
Gift appeal: Socks are the classic holiday gift — but these are the “okay wait, these are actually amazing” version.
Kids’ Cycling Gloves
Little hands deserve good gear too. These gloves help kids grip better, stay warm, and keep their fingers safe during wobblier learning phases.
Why they’re great: Improves comfort and control while also offering a bit of crash protection. Plus, they make kids feel legit — which boosts confidence big time.
Best for: Balance-bike beginners, grom trail riders, and kids who are fully obsessed with biking already.
Gift appeal: Adorable, functional, and parent-appreciated — a perfect small gift for the youngest riders on the trail.
🎁 Gifts for Everyday Riders
Bivo Stainless Steel Bottles
A stainless steel water bottle actually designed for cyclists — not just a hiking bottle pretending to be one. Bivo bottles pour fast without squeezing, stay fresh-tasting, and feel premium on and off the bike.
Why it’s great: It’s durable, clean-tasting, endlessly reusable, and built for cage fit and road bump chatter. A huge hydration upgrade.
Best for: Any rider who’s tired of funky-tasting plastic bottles: commuters, gravel riders, long-distance road cyclists, and mountain bikers.
Gift appeal: A practical everyday luxury. Sleek, sustainable, and endlessly useful.
Tifosi Moab + Moab Lite Sunglasses
These lightweight performance sunglasses punch far above their price. With interchangeable lenses, riders can swap from sunny to cloudy to forested conditions with ease.
Why it’s great: Shatterproof lenses, comfortable all-day fit, and clarity that works whether you’re chasing winter sun or ducking in and out of tree cover.
Best for: Trail riders who need clear optics, gravel riders with long mixed-light rides, road cyclists, and commuters.
Gift appeal: A stylish, high-value piece of gear that instantly becomes a go-to for every ride.
Troy Lee Designs Knee Pads
Trail-proven protection that doesn’t feel bulky or restrictive. TLD pads offer solid impact protection while still being comfortable enough for long climbs and all-day trail adventures.
Why it’s great: They breathe well, fit securely, and survive plenty of real-world crashes. Riders barely notice them while pedaling — until they’re really glad they had them on.
Best for: Mountain bikers who hit technical climbs, rocky descents, jump lines, or bike parks.
Gift appeal: A meaningful, rider-loved gear upgrade — one of the most appreciated gifts on this list.
🎁 Premium Upgrades & Bigger Gifts
Outbound Lights
If you’ve ever tried real trail-quality lighting, you know the difference. Outbound Lights illuminate the trail in a way that feels car-headlight-level smart — wide, clean, and confidence-boosting.
Why they’re great: Winter riding becomes exponentially more fun and way safer. Perfect for dark commutes, night rides, or squeezing in extra trail time after work.
Best for: Commuters, mountain bikers riding after dark, gravel night riders, and winter-season diehards.
Gift appeal: A seriously impressive gift. Riders who get these feel instantly unstoppable — even in December.
Cane Creek eSilk Gravel Stem
Comfort meets performance. The eSilk stem softens chatter and vibration from rough gravel, washboard roads, and choppy singletrack, giving riders smoother control during long miles.
Why it’s great: Less hand fatigue, better handling, and more comfort during long mixed-terrain or bikepacking days. A subtle upgrade that makes a big difference.
Best for: Gravel riders, all-road adventurers, and anyone logging long hours on bumpy terrain.
Gift appeal: A high-value, highly thoughtful upgrade for the gravel or adventure rider in your life.

Why it’s great: Combines inflation + tools in one tidy setup. Mounts securely, works flawlessly, and looks great on any bike.
Best for: Trail riders, gravel riders, bikepackers, and meticulous “always prepared” cyclists.

Muc-Off Airmach Electric Inflator
A pocket-sized, rechargeable electric inflator perfect for topping off tires or helping seat tubeless tires without breaking a sweat.

Gift appeal: One of those gifts people don’t buy for themselves but love receiving. High wow-factor, super practical.
7Mesh Glidepath MTB Pant — Men’s & Women’s
A shop favorite for good reason. The Glidepath Pant is lightweight, pedal-friendly, knee pad-friendly, water repellent, and built for year-round PNW riding. Its stretch fabric moves naturally on climbs, yet the fit stays sleek and tailored, making it just as great for post-ride hangs as it is for long days on singletrack.
Why it’s great:
It strikes the perfect balance of durability, weather protection, and breathability. The tapered legs avoid chain snags, the zip pockets secure your phone or snacks, and the fit works for everything from winter layering to shoulder-season trail missions.
Best for:
Mountain bikers who ride in variable weather, trail riders who want a pant that breathes well, and anyone who prefers a true “all-season” riding layer rather than a heavy rain shell.
Gift appeal:
A premium piece of apparel that feels incredible the second you pull it on. MTB riders put these on and immediately fall in love.
Steadyrack Bike Storage Mounts
The easiest, cleanest bike-storage solution out there. Steadyrack mounts let you store your bike securely, easily, AND they pivot sideways to save space: perfect for garages, gear rooms, or apartment living.
Why it’s great:
No struggling to lift your bike into a hook. No more awkward loose hanging. Just roll the bike up, let it cradle into place, and swing it to the side. It fits most bikes and keeps your space tidy while protecting your bike frame.
Best for:
Anyone who needs more room in the garage, riders with multiple bikes, and families with a growing fleet.
Gift appeal:
A “home run” gift for any rider who’s running out of room. Functional, clean, and surprisingly life-changing.
