Must-Have Gifts For Indoor Cycling Addicts
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
When you're addicted to indoor cycling, you tend to need specific gear. Does your water bottle squeeze or have a straw? If not, it's out. Do your socks have a nice little tab to keep them from slipping down into your cycling shoes while you're in midsprint? They better!
We rounded up essentials that we love for our favorite classes like SoulCycle and FlyWheel — they'll make the perfect gift for your friend who is equally addicted!
Lululemon Like Nothing 7/8 Tight
These lightweight, ultrathin, supersmooth tights are ideal for a cycling class. They've got a high waistline to hold everything in and welded seams for a chafe-free ride.
ban.do Fantastic Elastics
You can never have too many hair ties (and it would be a huge crisis if you didn't have one for class!) These make a perfect addition to your gym bag.
Style Edit Invisible Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is a total must for those afternoon sweat sessions when you're rushing back to the office!
Style Edit Invisible Dry Shampoo ($13, originally $18)
Pearl Izumi X-Road Fuel IV
These may look like running shoes, but they've got a sneaky pedal clip underneath! They're super comfy and work for both indoor and outdoor cycling, so you've got lots of options with these.
Pearl Izumi X-Road Fuel IV ($100)
Outdoor Voices Athena Crop
Stay comfy all class and keep the girls from falling out with a trusty high-neck sports bra. Nothing to see here, nothing to see . . .
Nike Elite Running Cushion No Show Tab
As mentioned, tabs on the socks are super crucial (just like they are for running!). The extra cushion is especially nice if you're renting shoes.
Nike Elite Running Cushion No Show Tab ($8, originally $16)
CamelBak Eddy Water Bottle
The straw is SO clutch when you're in the middle of a sprint or some on-the-bike choreography and you need a quick swig. Trust us on this one.
Yuni Beauty Shower Sheets
Just like dry shampoo, these sheets are essential when you're on the go and need a quick freshening up! These ones are nontoxic, plant-based, biodegradable, and compostable — and scented with essential oils!
Vimmia Pacific Tie-Back Athletic Tank
A lightweight tank that ties up — or can be removed easily — is your best friend in a hot class.
Adidas Fighter Headband Set
Keep hair (and thus, excess sweat) out of your face without tons of bobby pins. These are cute and convenient.
adidas Fighter Headband Set ($10, originally $12)
GapFit Breathe Strappy Shelf Tank
If you're not into taking your shirt off and riding in just your sports bra, a breathable tank with a nice open, strappy back like this is awesome.
GapFit Breathe Strappy Shelf Tank ($30 to $40, depending on color)
Lululemon Wunder Short 5"
Mix up your leggings lineup with a pair of compression shorts that have a little extra length and coverage. These ones stay down and won't ride up with every pedal stroke.
Shimano SH-RP300
Say goodbye to rental shoes. Shimano is a supertrusted brand in cycling, and this stylish monochromatic white pair is so fresh!
Shimano SH-RP300 ($120)
Nike 20 ounce Sport Water Bottle
Squeeze, chug, and go! This punchy pink bottle helps you do just that so you can stay hydrated without missing a beat.
