How to Craft Clever, Personal Birthday Wishes for a Cyclist

No one knows your friends better than you, so you might want to craft a more personalized birthday message for the cyclist in your life.

Here are some ideas to make it easy-breezy!

Include a bicycle-related memory. Think back to all the memories you share with them that include cycling. It could be what ran through your mind the first time you saw them on a bike. It could be how heroic they look crossing a finish line. Or it could be how much fun you have biking with them!
Send well wishes to the bike, too. It may sound silly, but a cyclist’s bicycle will likely be extraordinarily important to them. They’ve customized it, traveled miles on it, and made many memories with it. While they may chuckle at the idea of you speaking to their bike, they’ll also appreciate your interest in their hobbies.
Share a cyclist joke. Adding a themed joke to your birthday wishes is a great way to brighten their day. Our “spoke-tacular” pun — a play on the spokes of a bike’s wheel and “spectacular” — is one example.
Wish them luck. If your birthday pal has a big upcoming race or they’re planning to ride a tough trail soon, wish them the best of luck and let them know you’ll be thinking about them!
