Gift guide: cargo and family bike accessories
· Bike Your City
The best bike gifts are the ones that get used every day. Here is our pick for families who ride – for the parents, for the kids and for the cargo bike. Most of it is in our shop or can be ordered, and we're happy to help you choose.
Small gifts (under €30)
- Bright lights for the dark months: a rechargeable front and rear set is the most useful gift of all. See our lights.
- Reflective accessories for kids and parents: bands, stickers and patches from Reflective Berlin.
- A bell, a basket strap or a phone holder – small things that make every ride easier.
For the parents
- A good lock: a cargo bike needs a strong lock. Ask us about tex-lock, ABUS and AXA.
- Waterproof bags and panniers for the daily shopping and the school bag. Have a look at Ortlieb and our bags & baskets.
- A helmet with built-in lights, like the Lumos range.
- Rain gear: poncho, rain trousers or overshoes from our weather protection range.
For the kids
- A first bike or a bigger size: light, well-made woom bikes grow with your child, from balance bike to teenager. See our kids' bikes.
- A helmet they like to wear – let them pick the colour. See our helmets.
- Gloves and a warm hat that fit under the helmet.
For the cargo bike
- A rain cover or tent for the cargo box, so the kids stay dry all winter.
- Cushions, a footmuff or a blanket for the box.
- A child seat or a trailer to carry one more: see our child bike seats and bike trailers, and Thule.
