BARGAIN HUNT - 33

Where does the time go?! Yes, it's Timeout Tuesday again and this week Cycle Surgery are offering a whole 50% off their favourite RSP front and rear light set.


This week we just need to use TT113 as the checkout code.


Now these are some serious deals as the RSPs are akin to Cateye's commuter range, so grab a bargain today whilst this deal is on.


I like the look of the Radian light set - perfect for the urban commute. Not great to see with, but very good indeed to be seen by...


Even if you run other lights a second set is always useful to have as a backup.

BARGAIN HUNT - 30

Quite a few deals to take a look at this weekend as the bargains ramp up again ahead of the Christmas rush.


First up are Ribble Cycles, who are offering a mighty 25% off winter clothing for this weekend only. I know the temperatures are holding up at the moment, as I discovered on my ride home from work this evening, but we all know that at some point soon we will be suffering in the teeth of those lazy northerly and easterly winds that blow relentlessly chilling us to the bone.


Proper winter kit will keep us on the road in comfort and Ribble have some great deals. 25% off jackets, bib-tights, overshoes, head wear, socks, arm warmers, leg warmers and base layers. You name it they have it on sale. My pick of the bunch? Well, that would be all the Castelli kit - an uber-stylish way to stay toasty warm on the bike this winter...


Always Riding are offering £20 off baskets of £150 or more until 15th November. Just use the code FWXX222 at checkout to get the saving. 


After some Sidi cycling shoes? Maybe you fancy cooking up a pair like messrs Basso and Nibali on that really annoying eurosport ad? Well now's your chance as Merlin Cycles are offering 20% off their already competitive prices on any pair of Sidis. Just use SIDI20 at checkout to take advantage of this one. This brings the rather excellent Genius 5 Pros down to £134.95...


Fancy some free energy chews? Well, I say 'free' but of course there's a catch. But if you fancy spending a not unsubstantial £50 on the ZipVit website they will throw in a case of short dated stock energy chews, worth £30. Just use the code ZV10 at checkout. Not sure your dentist will thank you mind...

Finally, and I surely have left the best 'til last? Do you run a Garmin sat-nav? Maybe you have the team kit, you know all the riders' names, you’ve even thought about learning a second language to prove you are a cycling superfan! Well here is your chance to take the next step in argyle fandom – download Garmin’s newest GPS voice from the Garmin Garage later this month and let the unpredictable Dave Zabriskie act as your copilot. This free voice for your navigator is Garmin's way of saying thank you for your support!

BARGAIN HUNT - 29

If you're planning to spend some money with Wiggle now is the time to get over to their website.


From now until November 15th Wiggle are offering £15.00 off a basket worth £100 or more.


You just need to add UK15 as the code at checkout to take advantage of this offer.


Great timing as we head inexorably towards the festive season. Maybe now is the time to buy my Garmin Edge 500...

BARGAIN HUNT - 28

It's Timeout Tuesday over at Cycle Surgery again and today they have some great deals on Assos kit - up to 50% off.


Simply use TT111 at checkout to get the discount and you can pick up a Stinger Winter hat for £15.46 down from £30.99, a Mille Short Sleeve jersey for £66.49 down from £132.99 or maybe some Fi Mille S5 bib-shorts for £84.99, reduced from £169.99.


You can also pick up an excellent Assos winter jacket for £124.49 reduced from £248.99. Just the ticket as the weather turns against us...

BARGAIN HUNT - 25

This one might seem slightly left of field, but I use Discount Supplements to order most of my energy drink, gels and energy food. They provide great service, free delivery and very competitive prices, and for today only they are offering an extra 12% off all orders. Simply add OCT12 as the code at checkout.


Hurry though - this offer ends at midnight tonight...


Wiggle are offering £10 off when you spend £75 - just quote UK10 at checkout to get the discount. 


And finally, worth a mention is the continuing sale at PBK - now there are some items discounted by 70% or 80%. A lot of this is summer stuff, but if you're organised enough to want to buy well in advance for next season, then this could be the sale for you.



Of course, having said that, it was touching 17 degrees Celsius when I was out on the bike earlier today, so maybe I could get some more wear out of that summer kit this year!

BARGAIN HUNT - 24

Oh dear - where does the time go? Last time I looked it was Tuesday and now it's Friday evening... Still, at least it's the weekend!


Bargains are still coming at me thick and fast, so a quick update. Planet X are offering deals on Mavic Road wheelsets - Cosmic Elites are £279.99 down from £354.99 and the excellent Ksyrium Elites are £389.99 from £485.99. Ksyrium Equipes are £269.99 for black or £279.99 for white both down from £339.99. Why a tenner more for the white set I wonder? They do look rather nice mind...


Ribble cycles are running one of their many stock-take discounts - those boys really like to keep on top of their kit don't they? So, on top of their existing 20% off they are offering an additional 10% discount off all products (*not bikes or groupsets) - simply add SALE10 as the code at checkout.


Merlin Cycles are also offering 10% all their kit - this time the code is WINTER10 at checkout. Merlin's prices are always some of the keenest, to another 10% off their prices should make for some tempting purchases.


Tredz have got some good deals on their website at the moment - there are some pretty impressive discounts. There are savings of at least 30% on a lot of their kit...


Finally I will leave you with another Planet X special as they really know how to put an offer together. This time they would apparently have a job lot of LOOK 596 team replicas they need to dispose of, as they are offering this handsome machine not at it's RRP of £6,199 but for an mouth watering £3,799. That is a lot of bike for what is still a lot of money, but not nearly as much as it should be.


The catch, as of writing this blog they only had 6 available. So be quick.


If I had £3,799 I would be tempted. But I don't, so that's one offer I will leave for someone else to snap up...

BARGAIN HUNT - 23

The bargains are still coming thick and fast, which is just as well as I am struggling to keep my motivation going as the days get shorter, the temperatures cooler and the winds stronger.


I was out on the road yesterday morning after a weekend away and boy was it a struggle. Into a strong headwind for the better part of 30 miles, it was the first run along one of my usual winter routes since last year. I was even tempted to stop off and check for brake rub so leg-numbingly difficult was I finding it. I wish...


So, maybe a little retain therapy will ease the pain? Always Riding are offering 10% off for orders in excess of £100, not bad if you have a blue chip purchase planned. Simpy use OCTOBEROFFER at checkout before October 23. 


Wiggle, bless 'em, are also offering an extra 10% off site prices - use code EXT10-SPECIALS at checkout. They also have massive discounts on a whole bunch of kit they want to clear, including bikes. The never ending sale continues...


If you fancy glamming your bike up for winter on a budget, new bar tape is an easy and effective way. PBK are offering 50% off Deda tape at the moment - use DEDA50 at checkout.


Bikes You Like are offering 50% off Altura Night Vision gloves, both yellow and black, bringing them down to £19.99.


Finally, Parkers International are offloading Michelin Pro Race 3 tyres for a oh-so-tempting £20.95 - that's a saving of 38% off the usual £33.99.


Grab 'em whilst you can...

BARGAIN HUNT - 12

Quick, dust of your wallets and get yourself over to PBK. From now until 2nd October Pro Bike Kit have an additional 10% off orders over £50 and an additional 15% of orders in excess of £100.


Simply use the codes UKEXTRA10 or UKEXTRA15 at checkout. Your bank manager will be relieved...


Whilst you're at it, check out Evans Cycles for 15% off all long-sleeved jerseys. You can shop online using the code SOWLSJ or you can print out a voucher to take in-store, if you prefer to shop in the flesh.


And finally, I know I have been banging on about lights for an eternity now, but this deal from JE James is quite sweet. If you are after a set of decent commuting lights that won't break the bank, check out this set of SMART lights  from Raleigh.


A £40 set of lights for just over a tenner? Where do I sign...

Another name that might not be familiar with everyone, High On Bikes often have great discounts on cycling kit and components. Based on Scarisbrick Business Park just outside Ormskirk in the North West, they have an enormous warehouse full of stock and back this up with excellent customer service.

Along with Merlin and Shiny bikes, High On Bikes always offer some of the best prices on groupsets and components. Don't upgrade those levers or crankset without checking with them first!

At the moment High On Bikes have a 10% discount on all orders over £50 - just enter SEP10 at the checkout. It's also worth noting that they offer free delivery on all UK orders too.

In addition to the usual web outlet, High On Bikes have an eBay shop where there are some good deals to be had.
