Christmas is coming soon and the official stress of shopping and preparation has begun. If you still need help finding presents, you've come to the right place - at least if it's something for a cyclist. We have written down several Christmas presents for cyclists and created our own editorial wish list. Maybe there's something for your loved ones or yourself. For example, a memento of some time spent together on the bike.
Christmas gifts for cyclists: personalised poster for a tour you have ridden yourself
A last-minute Christmas present that you can make yourself: the tip for anyone looking for a personalised gift. As we all know, the best gifts are priceless: taking part in an Alpine marathon, a non-stop trip to visit relatives at the other end of Germany or a bikepacking tour across the Alps. These are priceless experiences that you will remember for a long time to come. This is exactly where our gift comes in: a self-designed poster with the track of the ride.
Creative variations would be a T-shirt, greetings cards or products such as a coffee mug, which can be ordered from an online picture shop. The website Canva.com is suitable for the poster (instructions on YouTube, search words: "Strava Poster Canva"). The basic requirement is a route that you have travelled, which you copy from Strava, Komoot or another platform using a screenshot and paste into Canva. It is best not to select the standard map, but the satellite view, for example. You should have a bit of fun with digital tinkering and enjoy playing with effects. In our example, we have added the finish time of a fictitious participant and copied a logo from the Ötztaler website. The personalised gift is ready. If you want the best quality, you can also have the poster printed by Canva (from 19 euros).
