Here are our gift suggestions for the best bicycle gear.
Apple Air Tags
An entire industry has emerged around Apple Air Tags for keeping track of your valuables and locating them when misplaced or stolen. The rising popularity of expensive bicycles and e-Bikes raises the stakes. There are many clever ways to hide your Air Tag from potential thieves. I own the seat-post reflector with hidden compartment listed below.
- Keep track of and find your items alongside friends and devices in the Find My app
- Simple one-tap setup instantly connects AirTag with your iPhone or iPad
- Play a sound on the built-in speaker to help find your things, or just ask Siri for help
- Precision Finding with Ultra Wideband technology leads you right to your nearby AirTag (on select iPhone models)
- Find items further away with the help of hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network

An Air Tag with a hidden mount won’t prevent theft, we just think it’s a great way to help you find your bike, lost or stolen. The best theft prevention is provided by a secure lock, and Kryptonite is well-known for its quality bike locks. The Evolution Mini-7 is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for your gear bag and an ideal candidate for preventing theft when you leave your bike in a rack.
