2022 Mother's Day Gift Ideas For Cyclists Moms Updated on April 18, 2022
Mother's Day 2022 is coming up on Sunday, May 8. That means it's time to pick the perfect present. Sure, you could take the cliché route and order up some flowers and take her to brunch. But if your mom is a cyclist, chances are she'd prefer a heaping helping of buttery-smooth tarmac or maybe a side of chunky gravel roads than smoked salmon and capers.
So what to get your cyclist mom? Some fresh apparel is never a bad idea. Protective gear like a new helmet is a no-brainer. Or maybe she needs a new pair of shoes. When all else fails, you can't go wrong with a gift card to Jenson USA, Competitive Cyclist, evo, or REI.
To get things rolling, we've assembled a list of 10 great Mother's Day gift ideas. Scroll down to learn more.
GIRO Seyen MIPS Helmet
With a slight side-step from the norm, Giro chooses a “European” design and engineers the Seyen to sit a little deeper for added protection all-around while also pairing it with the MIPS integrated safety system. An outer shell of hard polycarbonate is bonded with an EPS foam liner using InMold technology to boost safety as well as reduce weight. Striking graphics help the Seyen make an impact compared to the more subdued helmets in your riding group, and a unique venting layup adds a touch more. With 25 Wind Tunnel vents and an internal channel network to keep you cool on hot days, the open front V-shaped vent sets the Seyen apart from other helmets in Giro’s lineup.
Long days in the saddle call for the Pro Bib Shorts from Pearl Izumi, keeping you comfortable for the duration of the ride. Crafted with highly technical fabrics and a refined fit, the Pro Bib Short simply disappears and lets you focus on the road ahead. Pearl Izumi outfitted this bib short with its supportive, breathable, and women's-specific PRO Escape 1:1 chamois and ultra-soft Italian PRO Transfer fabric creating a short that will be your go-to throughout the season. Up top, the wide, laser-cut bib straps sit softly against your body, resisting twisting and binding for a comfortable, supportive fit. Raw edges at the hems create smooth transitions from the short and your skin and it looks as good as it feels. Finally, leg openings get a printed silicone gripper to hold them securely in place throughout the ride.
Machines For Freedom Summerweight Long-Sleeve Jersey
You can help mom protect her skin from damaging UV rays this summer with the Summer Long-Sleeve Jersey by Machines For Freedom. This long-sleeve jersey features a standard fit that sits close, but without being skin-tight like race jerseys. The long-sleeve coverage and UPF 50+ rating ensure full protection on the sunniest days of the season when you're likely to burn in a matter of a few hours.
Give mom's bike a little flair with the Electra Domed Ringer bike bell. Its easy-to-push lever creates a friendly ringing sound to let riders know she's passing on the left.
With a compact design and wide beam spread optimized for city riding, the Bontrager Ion 100 R/Flare R City bike light set ensures visibility on commutes, joyrides and more.
Shimano offers the RC5 Cycling Shoe as an ideal solution that doesn't just get you through the ride, but does so with comfort and power. They are built to fall right into the mid-range of Shimano's lineup, thanks to the durable synthetic leather uppers that don't flex and stretch with time, plus mesh panels for a huge boost in breathability should your toes warm up as the temps rise. The uppers secure around your foot like a warm hug thanks to a combination of an Boa and hook-and-loop strap that helps disperse pressure away from the instep while eliminating wiggle room for support through every part of your pedal stroke.
These medium-sized glasses feature Smith's flagship Chromapop lenses that differentiate between colors to boost contrast and clarity so that you can see exactly what you are doing while you bike, trail run, or hike. While you are partaking in these strenuous activities the adjustable hydrophilic nose pads and grippy temple pads coupled with Auto-lock hinges will keep them in place so that you can focus on your own performance and enjoyment.
Bottle cages are great to have on your bike so you can easily carry water. You won't get too far on your ride if you're dehydrated. The Specialized Zee Cage II with Tool has an integrated EMT cage-mounted MTB tool so you can do minor trailside maintenance. The cage works well in frames that have limited frame space and the side-loading design makes it easy to get your bottle in and out. It is made from a reinforced composite material that improves durability without the added bulk. Includes an EMT MTB tool that has a 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm hex tool, T25 Torx, and #1 flathead screwdriver. Right-hand loading on the down tube and left-hand loading on the seat tube.
The Specialized Women's RBX ADV SS Jersey is the ideal jersey of the open road, of the untrodden gravel path, of the bar stool at your local brewhouse post ride. The Specialized Women's RBX ADV SS Jersey is as at home for a long day on backcountry gravel or fire road ascents. It features a zipper-less front for a more casual look with a close-to-body fit for on-bike performance. Two small rear zipper pockets keep important items safe, while wool’s natural cooling, wicking and odor neutralizing features make this jersey comfortable for fast riding over the long haul.
