Biking Gift Blanket with Cycling Quotes and Rider

Biking Gift Blanket opens with a cyclist silhouetted against a retro sunset, and the printed line “I’d rather be BIKING” across the top says exactly what the rider feels. Twelve smaller panels add sayings like “Keep Calm and Cycle On,” so you get a full round of jokes for anyone who lives in cycling gear.

The design piece by piece

The centerpiece is a rider on a bicycle, drawn in dark silhouette over a band of teal, blue and green that fades like a sunrise over a ridge. Small stars scatter across the navy field around the sun, and pine trees line the bottom of the scene. Each of the twelve panels around it has its own style, with bold lettering, hand-drawn bikes and mountain outlines. Some panels show a mountain biker, others a road bike or a heartbeat line. The panels read as a set of inside jokes about checking your gear, pedaling through doubt and riding hard. Together they form one picture of a cycling life, from the first ride of the morning to the last climb before dark.

Everyday moments

This blanket is made for riders who talk about their bikes at dinner and who count their weekends by trail miles. Road cyclists will smile at “Bike Prep” and “Check Your Nuts,” while mountain bikers will recognize the rugged “This Is How I Roll.” You can wrap it over your legs after a long ride, drape it on the couch while you plan the next route, or fold it across a chair in the garage while the bike dries off. For a rider, that is the best kind of moment to unwind.

When you need a gift

Biking Gift Blanket works well for birthdays, retirements, a first bike or a new season of rides. It is a good match for a partner who spends every free hour on the trail, or for a coworker who always has a story about yesterday’s climb. Give it in the fleece or sherpa style, depending on whether you want something sleek or cozy for the living room.
