Get Lake on your side this Christmas season

Gift ideas for cyclists

Whether you like it or not, the shops and online stores are all starting to wrap up the year with Christmas themes already – despite it only being November. The Christmas movies are already being shown - and watched – and people everywhere are starting to think about gifts for family and friends. Now, we’ll accept that most keen cyclists will be easy for Saint Nicholas and the Elves; they’re probably be asking for new bikes, of all shapes, sizes, styles and colours. However, Christmas should really be about giving the gift of time and happiness to those close to us; everything else is just a bonus.

On the point of happiness, alongside that precious family time, and time with close friends, small gifts can bring a smile to all faces, when they have real meaning. Instead of leaving Christmas gifts until the last minute and simply panic-buying something meaningless, we thought that we’d help you with a few ideas for the cyclists in your family. And so, here’s just a few simple seasonal ideas for cyclists this Christmas season – from us all here at Lake!

Sock it to them, with our new Lake Sport Line cycling socks!

Earlier this summer, we redesigned our Lake, Sport Line Cycling Socks. Available in 3 colours (blue, Black and white), they’re a step up from our previous cycling socks. These all-new high-performance ankle length socks are made by our leading industry partner to our specification, and come with 90% polyamide, 10% elastane and Q-SKIN fiber, offering breathability, freshness, and comfort for all-season riding. They’ve got a reinforced heel and toe area for added strength, and they also have a special weave across the bridge of the foot, maximizing breathability and that all-important moisture control. The Q-SKIN® fiber used in these technical cycling socks takes care of skin by enabling and maximizing breathability, freshness, hygiene and comfort to the wearer. When our bodies sweat molecules produced by cycling, the silver ions are activated as the sweat meets the technical fiber. Odor control is effectively managed in this process – so you can leave the bad smells to Brussell sprouts - whilst the Q-SKIN by Fulgar® fabric remains smooth, soft and strong against the skin.

The specially designed fabric weave across the upper area of our new Sportline socks aids and maximizes breathability and moisture management, ensuring that your feet stay smelling fresh and dry, all ride long.Our Sport Line socks are super-soft against the skin and stylishly simple; meaning that they’ll go with just about any cycling outfit. If you’re looking for the ideal stocking-filler this Christmas – pardon the pun – how about wrapping your families’ cycling feet in our Sport Line cycling socks!

Lake winter insoles & winter cycling socks

Nobody likes cold feet, and yet we still want to be able to stay outside and cycling during winter. If your family are keen, cold-weather cyclists, why not treat them this Christmas to some of our Lake winter insoles for their Lake cycling shoes.

Lake’s Winter Insole is a layered package that creates an insulating barrier, keeping the heat generated by your body inside the shoe and the cold outside the shoe. The outer felt layers wick away moisture and keep the foot feeling dry, a second radiant reflective layer helps keep heat and cold from transferring through, while the inner core of air pockets creates an insulating barrier so that the heat or cold cannot be conducted.They come in various sizes and have guide areas on the insole, to help you to cut around your own shoe requirements. Alongside our Lake winter wool cycling socks, your hard-working cycling feet will be toasty and well catered for all ride long.

There’s a choice between our PrimaLoft® winter cycling socks, made for superior wicking. These technical socks transfer moisture away from the skin, keeping your feet dry, warm and comfortable.Alternatively, you can choose our wool fibre socks, made using a wool blend made from recycled fiber and American Merino Wool. They’re a high-performance and all-condition trail riding sock with a no-feel toe seam, arch compression, and padding in the toe box, forefoot, and heel. Naturally antibacterial. The perfect gift for a cold weather cyclist this winter, alongside their Lake cycling shoes!

Lake Cycling Gift Cards

Admit it too, there’s always that difficult person to buy for at Christmas time. You know the one! Don’t panic though, as with Lake on your side, you can still deck out their halls with a Lake Cycling Gift Card. The card comes in a variety of prices, allowing you to treat themselves to a pair of our latest road cycling shoes, or gravel bike adventure shoes; or to simply choose their own Lake cycling accessories.

Our Lake Cycling Gift Cards can also be used for giving that special someone the opportunity to personalise their very own set of lake shoes, with our customisation programme – and that’s definitely the best wrapping they’ll get this Christmas!

So, hang up those winter slippers and climb on board the Lake Cycling sleigh this holiday season, with our range of some of the finest cycling shoe accessories in Santa’s workshop!
