How about if you get him a musette bag like they have in the pro race feed stations, and fill it with all his favorite on bike snacks and energy drinks, maybe a new pair of gloves. Also put in massage lotion (bikers need masages, right?) rent "Breaking Away" or "American Flyers" and have an easy dinner of pasta, followed by cake and a massage?
I'd be psyched if my bf got me that. Bike themed and romantic.

All cyclists can appreciate a massage! I think that's a great idea. (you could give it or hire someone)

My cycling BF is a cycling weight weenie and he was very excited to get (extremely overpriced yet very light and shiny) Ti pedals for christmas. Something he wouldn't buy for himself, but was happy to get as a gift. Does your partner have a similar cycling item wish list?
Massages are also a great idea. Or spa gift certificates.

Eden has the best idea so far. Massage is a great idea and maybe the best. And even if he is finicky when it comes to bike, you can't go wrong with a good sports/deep tissue massage.
