With Cyber Monday now over, Cycling Weekly's Bike Deals live blog is no longer live!

However, if you want to look back over all the best deals we've found in one easy to navigate place, you can find our main bike deals hub right here.

If you're looking for for some bike-themed Christmas gifts and need a little inspiration, you can check out our Christmas gift guide just over here.

Hello you!

It's the final countdown (yeah, I'm singing it in my head) to the official launch of Black Friday 2022 - there IS an official launch right? - and from now until Cyber Monday Cycling Weekly will be here to help you find the best - and most genuine - biking bargains out there.

Wherever possible, we'll be snooping around the internet to see if we can find you deals on gear we've tested or bought ourselves so that you know the deals we present are good 'uns!

So, keep popping back to see what we've found. And yes, we will be here during football/soccer games. (Although we might be a bit distracted at 7pm UK tomorrow...)

Editor Michelle was impressed with Garmin's Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar smartwatch when it was launched earlier this year. Don't worry, that hairy wrist isn't hers. Instead that - almost - live shot shows Content Director Rob showing off his Garmin Fenix 6. As someone who doesn't just ride a bike but also runs, boulders and goes to the gym (all badly, by the way) he's a big fan of the multi-sport talents of the Fenix.

As it's actually Rob writing this he doesn't mind a) referring to himself in the third person and b) telling you that if you can grab a previous generation Fenix you'll be getting one of the best smartwatches for cycling out there. It provides you with enough data to fill several spreadsheets, plays music, shows you WhatsApp messages and, yep, tells the time!

Garmin Fenix 6 Pro: $599.99 $329.00 at AmazonPacked with features, the Fenix 6 does everything you might want. Beyond just tracking your rides and runs (along with many other sports) it comes preloaded with TOPO maps to help guide you on your way. To drill into the details, you can read our review here.

Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar: was £849.99 £389.99 at Jura Watches

Exactly the same as the watch above except it's powered by the magic of the sun's rays. Garmin claims up to 14 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and 16 when solar charging. We'd be surprised if you get anything like that to be honest - our testers have managed around six days with theirs. But it's still a very good bit of kit and it's nearly 500 quid off at Jura Watches! Check out our full review here.

Shimano IC100 Cycling shoe: Was $100.00 , now $60.00

Designed as an indoor cycling shoe, the IC100 combines a heavy focus on breathability with a highly versatile sole that caters for both three-bolt road cleats and the two-bolt kind used on off-road pedals – but also some spin bikes. Although they might be intended specifically for indoor use, they double up nicely for hot weather rides outdoors

Shimano IC102 Cycling shoe: Was £69.00, now £58.00

Essentially the same as the IC100, with no differences between the major spec points, this is the model that's on the best discount in the UK. You get the same high levels breathability, the sole that's compatible with both two-bolt and three-bolt cleats and that easy to fasten Velco strap

We've recently reviewed the IC102 version of Shimano's budget indoor specific shoe and were very impressed by the performance for the price. The breathability was good, the soles perfectly stiff enough for hard efforts and the Velcro strap made them super quick and easy to slip on before turbo sessions.

Now, these are at the entry-level end of the market – we've tested more expensive models that do offer more breathability from the upper, the nylon sole simply isn't as stiff as its carbon equivalents and Boa dials offer more adjustment than you get with a Velcro strap.

That said, those shoes can go for over four times the price of this model – the point is that these shoes are really great value for their price and, if you're not coming from a set of those top-end shoes, you're very unlikely to be disappointed by them.

But if you do want to see how this model stacks up against the best road cycling shoes we've had on test, you can find our buyer's guide just over here.

Wahoo is a brand that has often delivered some proper bargains over the Black Friday period, but this year the Atlanta, Georgia, tech-company has surpassed itself. For 2022's sales season Wahoo has dropped the prices of its Kickr V5, Kickr Bike 1.0 and Elemnt Roam V1 bike computer to their lowest ever. The Bike and Roam in particular look especially tempting with almost 50% cut from their original RRPs!

Buy the Wahoo Kickr V5 from Wahoo

The Kickr V5 indoor trainer was one of the best models on the market and although the V6 has replaced it, it is still a stellar pain cave stalwart. You can check out our full smart trainer buying guide here.

US: Was $1,199.99 now $799.99 (save 33%)

UK: Was £999.99 now £699.99

Buy the Wahoo Kickr Bike V1 from Wahoo

Wahoo's first Kickr bike was one of the very best smart bikes on the market – and the latest update isn't radically different from the previous generation, so this represents a good deal.

US: Was $3,799.99 now $1,999.99 (save 47%)

UK: Was £3,199.99 now £2,199.99

Buy the Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1 from Wahoo

We reviewed the Elemnt Roam more than three years ago and really liked it. There have been updates and upgrades since, but this version still more than holds its own.

US: Was $379.99 now $199.99 (save 47%)

UK: Was £299.99 now £219.99

It's now Stefan here on the live blog: hello everyone! And for those on the East Coast, hope you had a good Thanksgiving and welcome to Black Friday!

I'll kick things off first with a handy 4iiii discount . Crank based power was already one of the cheaper ways of getting into riding with numbers, and 4iiii are generally pretty reliable for a good discount - this one is as cheap as I've ever seen it.

4iiii Precision 105 R7000: Was $274.99 , now $227.49 at ProBikeKit

If you want to get started riding with power – whether reap the training benefits from all that lovely data, or simply to have a more accurate experience on Zwift – Canadian brand 4iiii has long been one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get set up – provided you have a Shimano groupset for this particular model

4iiii Precision 105 R7000: Was £249.00 , now £209.00 at ProBikeKit

First off, we have seen this deal slightly cheaper at Halfords, currently £199.00. But over there you only get a choice between 172.5mm and 165mm options, whereas ProBikeKit has all that plus 170mm and 175mm – if those are the lengths you currently have set up on your bike.

We've long been impressed by the 4iiii power crank as one of the cheapest and easiest ways to start getting power readings on your rides. So long as you have a Shimano groupset, there's only three bolts that you need to unscrew and swapping one in is arguably easier than changing a set of pedals.

Right now, the discounts are especially good, as 4iiii has recently launched an updated 4iiii Precision 3.0 model, which we've also recently reviewed. The improvements are incremental and it's good to see 4iiii continuing to improve their products.

But at the same time, we've found the 2.0 version to be robust and reliably accurate and for pretty much everyone, we'd recommend snapping up one of the older models while there still is stock.

But if you're interested in how the power meter stacks up against its competition, you can find our full guide to the best power meters for cycling just over here.

Continental Grand Prix 5000 - Clincher, 700 x 28c: was $149.99 , now $76.99 at ProBikeKit

A massive 49% off a twin pack of GP5000s! What's better is that the price is the same for the 25mm width as well - plus the dark tan sidewall option is only $2 more at $78.99 for two. If you run tubes today is your lucky day. if you're after some more stylish sidewalls. There's still a good discount on the hookless and tubeless version at 23% off a twin pack, but at $149.99 it is a much bigger outlay/

Continental Grand Prix 5000 - Clincher, 25c: was £66.00, now £33.00 at Sigma Sports

There are a lot of different models here to choose from. The best deal - 50% off - is on the clincher (inner tube) in a 25mm width and width. But Sigma Sports is also selling cream and darker tan sidewall options too. For tubeless and hookless compatibility, ProBikeKit is you best bet at £124.99 for a set (or £62.50 each).

When the first iteration of the GP 5000 tyres was launched back in 2018, we were immediately impressed by the low rolling resistance, grip and - after an extended period testing - their good puncture resistance for such a performance oriented tyre. In fact we liked them so much we even gave them an Editor's Choice award back in 2020.

Now, there have been a host of new models and editions launched since those heady days back in 2018 - you can get a version that's compatible with hookless and tubeless setups, there are three different sidewall colour options, and there's TT and TdF editions as well - plus there are tyre width options from 23mm up to a plump 32mm.

But here we've focused on the best deals and on the models most people are likely to buy - which means for the most part black sidewalls and clincher casings. But we have still included the discounts on tubeless and tan walls as the money saved there still isn't to be sniffed at! You can read more about the best road tyres we've reviewed just over here.

dhb Vector photochromatic lens sunglasses: was $119 , $59.00 at Wiggle

They've got that fashionable big frame shared by the best sunnies from brands like 100% and Oakley - and the photochromic lens is up there with the best of them, offering excellent clarity and a robust feel. you can read more about the dhb Vector sunglasses in our full review here.

dhb Vector photohromatic lens sunglasses: was £90 , £45 at Wiggle

With a excellent photochromic lens and that robust, sturdy frame, the dhb Vectors are a stylish option that rivals the likes of Oakley and 100%. To be fair, Oakley's comparative model offers even better clarity, but the dhb Vector's performance was enough to earn 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review - and the Oakley's are four times this discounted price

We were highly impressed by these Vector sunnies when we had them on review. The styling of them with their large and full frame is up there with the big brands - as is the performance of the photochromic lens.

But even at full price the dhb Vectors come in at about half the price of comparable models from Oakley and 100% - with this half price discount the Vectors are currently a quarter of the price!

If you're interested in how they stack up against the rest of the best sunglasses for cycling we've reviewed, you can check out our buyer's guide over here.

Castelli Perfetto RoS Vest: was $199.99 , now $149.99 at Backcountry

25% off might not sound like the biggest discount - but at least you can get this one in four colours and the complete range of sizes! If you fancy a little bit of 'deal roulette', at the time of writing there is a size medium in black at Jenson USA for $113.99 or a size small in orange at Backcountry for $114.99.

Castelli Perfetto RoS Vest: was £145.00 , now £59.00 at Sigma Sports

So, Sigma has the biggest discounts but only in sizes small and medium - they are offering a range of three colours though! If you're after larger sizes, Merlin Cycles has a lot of stock in a lot of colours, although they are more expensive with most being £65.00. Otherwise, you can get the latest Perfetto RoS 2 in a full compliment of colours and sizes from Sigma Sports at mostly 33% off, although black is 45% off - how about that!

It's no secret, I'm a massive fan of the humble cycling vest / gilet. It's a garment that, I feel, often gets overlooked - after all, what is the point of a jacket without sleeves? Are you cold or not???

But that totally misses the point of the cycling vest / gilet - perhaps the second most misunderstood piece of kit after toe warmers.

Keeping your core warm gives such a boost to your comfort when riding through the cold. But should the temperatures take a turn for the better - unlike a jacket - you can actually stuff even quite a thick gilet into a back pocket.

Equally, if you pair a gilet with some thick, fleecy arm warmers, you can go from toasty warm and fully insulated to arms out in the winter sun - if you live a little further south than us the 51st parallel, that is! Typically more one for the spring (and, sadly, even summer) for me.

Castelli has made some updates to the Perfetto RoS, the zipper being the most obvious change. But you won't be disappointed going for the older version of the vest / gilet - we tested it when it was new and were very highly impressed by the performance. Notably, the fabrics have stayed the same, so the wind proofing and high levels of water resistance will be the same.

For all the best vest / gilets we've reviewed, you can check out our buyer's guide here. Or, if you're not ready to give up the sleeves, you can find our best winter jackets over here.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen): Was $249.00 , now $199.99 at Amazon

It's great to see a $50 discount on the newest Apple products, so this discount on the 2nd generation AirPods really is noteworthy. When reviewed these AirPods (check out our best cycling headphones guide for the write up), we found that the high list price is justified by the features they offer. The pairing is seamless, the noise cancellation excellent, and the ear touch controls are really easy to use.

Haylou PurFree headphones: Was $119.99 , now $99.99 at Amazon

With a very (very) similar design and functionality to the better known Shokz Openrun bone conducting headphones - at the current discounts, this is the model that we'd absolutely recommend. The sound quality is great, your ears remain open to ambient noise and, no matter how hard we've tried, we haven't managed to sweat them to death.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen): was £249.00, now £199.00 at Argos

We don't normally link out to Argos, but if that's where the best deals are, that's where we'll go! Apple's AirPods may be a more generalist piece of kit, but they proved excellent for hard indoor cycling sessions. You can read more about how they stack up against over models in our full review and write up in our guide to the best headphones for cycling over here.

Shokz OpenRun headphones: was £129.95 , now £89.95

Over in the UK, it looks like the Haylou PurFree aren't so available right now - but with a current £40 saving on the Shokz OpenRun, you can still pick up a great set of bone conduction headphones at a good price. We've also reviewed this set, so do check out our guide to the best headphones for cycling to see how they all stack up. Spoiler: the Shokz headphones are brilliant.

Garmin Forerunner 55: was $200.00 , now $149.99 at REI

This $50 saving is the best we've come across so far - Amazon's offers are pretty weak at $184.99, and over at Walmart things aren't any better, coming in at $186.00. Here at Cycling Weekly we think that this is one of the best value models, being much cheaper than those with base maps, but still offering the huge range of data tracking - including HRV.

Garmin Forerunner 55: was £179.99 , now £117.99

Right now, it's Chain Reaction Cycles that has the best deal on the Forerunner 55 with 34% off - cheaper even than the specialist running sites! Even Amazon is trailing, with their price coming in at £129.48. In our view, this is one of the best value models, with the data tracking of the higher end models - including HRV - but without the base maps.

Yes, the most observant amongst you will have spotted that the image up top there is indeed a Garmin Forerunner 945. We do have a Forerunner 955 Solar already on test (very fancy, I know), but after that we'll be reviewing the Forerunner 55 - because for many people this could be all the smartwatch they need.

As cyclists, we're almost innately programmed to like prize GPS units with mapping above all. But the fact is that a watch isn't the easiest way to navigate while riding - the large out-front display of a bike computer will always be superior in that regard.

But say you want HRV data to better track your recovery, sleep data, step data, an easy an immediately accessible way to track whatever other activities you might be doing, from running to yoga to rock climbing to hiking - there's not point in spending a packet when you can get all of that in a much cheaper (and slimmer) model.

To that end, we think that the Forerunner 55 is one of the most important models in Garmin's line up - and we'll be getting a review in soon! In the meantime, check out our guide to the best smart watches we've had on test to see how the range stacks up.

Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine: was $219.00, now $153.30

We've got a very similar model at the Cycling Weekly offices (ours has the water tank at the back rather than the side) and I can full attest to the speed, taste and robustness of these machines after heavy, heavy use.

Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee machine: was £150.00 , now £69.99

This is the model we have at the offices! Nice and compact, it doesn't take up much space - but it can churn out the coffees like nobody's business. Seriously, I can't believe it's still going as strongly now as it did when we first got it over a year ago. Very impressive.

It might be a cliché, but we cyclists really do love our coffee. Naturally, a freshly pulled espresso is top of the tree - but sometimes speed and convenience does come trumps.

At home, my personal brew method of choice is a Bialetti Moka pot for the strength of the brew without the price or complexity of a machine. But at the Cycling Weekly offices, we've got a Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee machine doing the heavy lifting for us - and it's doing an excellent job!

Sealskinz Men's waterproof gloves: was $55.00 , now $47.23

We're big fans of Sealskinz here at Cycling Weekly. A British brand, they offer a lifetime guarantee on all their waterproof products - giving you an idea of the build quality they hold themselves to. We haven't reviewed this exact model, but it's a good balance between insulation and price. If you're after all out insulation the Cold Weather Gloves with Fusion Control are the ones to look out for (currently 25% off at Backcountry).

Sealskinz Men's Sea Leopard waterproof gloves: was £40.00 , now £28.00

Sealskinz is a firm favourite here at Cycling Weekly. A British brand, they offer a lifetime guarantee for all their products - even covering the waterproofness of all their waterproof ranges. The build quality is always high and, although we haven't actually reviewed this model, it's on a good discount and is an excellent price. For ultimate warmth, the Sealskinz Waterproof Cold Weather Glove with Fusion Control is the one to go for (currently £55.25 at Millets with the code EXTRA 15 - a 30% discount)

It's that time of year again and only the hardiest of cyclists are continuing to ride with their hands bare. Usually we'd recommend buying your gloves at the start of the season when retailers are looking to shift unsold stock - but the Black Friday deals are hefty enough that those of us who weren't so prepared can still grab a pair without paying through the nose.

If you're interested in the full range of gloves that we've reviews and how they compare, you can find our buyer's guide to the best cycling gloves just over here.

Vel 50 RL Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset: was $XXXX , now $‌431.00

For some reason the Sigma Sports website isn't showing the previous price right now, but well under $500 is a seriously good deal for a 1,537g set of wheels with tubeless compatibility and a 20mm internal rim width. A 102 tooth engarement ring works out at a 3.5 degree engagement - which is incredibly snappy!

Vel 50 RL Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset: was £749.00 , now £399.00

Vel has released an update to these wheels, but the previous model is still a great option. The 20mm internal rim width is a little narrower than the widest road wheels these days - but it's still wider than some other current models and is good for for plumper tyres. at 1,537g, they are a little heavier than some competitors - but those are triple the price of this discount.

Vel is Sigma Sports' in-house wheel brand as is offering some cracking wheels at incredible prices. We actually had a set of these in on review last year and they came in 1,537g despite the claimed weight being 1,610g - it's not often it's that way round! At full price, there wasn't much of a reason for go for these versus the competition, but since then the list price has come down and now they are nearly 50% off!

If you're interested in how these measure up to the best road wheels we've tested here at Cycling Weekly, you can find our buyer's guide just over here.

Good afternoon, Rob joining the live fray. Obviously, I'm just winding down until 7pm UK time when some men I've never met will kick a ball and I'll feel disappointed/elated/conflicted about caring about it. Anyyyyway... That gives me roughly three hours to find some good stuff for you among the Black Friday bike deals!

Bose SoundSport In-Ear Headphones: was $129 , $99 at Amazon

Bose SoundSport In-Ear Headphones: was £1 29.98 , £89.99 at John Lewis

These aren't true wireless in-ear headphones, but they're a great choice for indoor riding as well as running. They stay firmly in the ears, sound quality is good and the Bluetooth stable. Our stable-mate site Tom's Guide certainly rates them.

I've been using my Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones for a couple of years now and I'm a big fan, so can happily recommend them as a bone fide Black Friday deal. I'll admit that I'm not an audiophile, but to my untrained ears the Bose SoundSports can hold their own as a set of the best headphones for cycling. I'm middle-aged so it's mainly post-rock, semi-miserable, slightly dark instrumental film soundtracks and football and comedy podcasts. (Three Bean Salad anyone?) Obviously, I mainly use them indoors, but have used them on the traffic free bike path between Bath and Bristol here in the UK and they're not noise-cancelling so you can retain spatial awareness.

If these aren't for you then check out Black Friday headphone deals for different brands. If you fancy Bose, but just not these then in the US check out Bose US's page and similarly look at Bose UK if you're GB-based.

Afternoon all, It's Tom here taking over the live blog. I'm here to bring you some cracking deals on the best long sleeved cycling jerseys, the best winter cycling gloves out there, the best winter bib tights and more!

Who needs the football when there's some great Black Friday bike deals to be had!

We've got a table of top, top nutrition to feast upon here in Black Friday Bike Deals Towers. All the good stuff Hula Hoops - cheese and onion FTW - Mr Kipling's mini Battenbergs and French Fancies and weird, round orange things that smell like orange...

However, if you're a fan of actual nutrition then perhaps heading over to Wiggle to grab 45% off a box of 30 Science in Sport GO+ caffeine energy gels. That's 45% of the price, not the quantity in the box. Which would be...nope can't do the maths.

The Castelli Perfetto RoS Long Sleeve Jersey is an absolute winner..... and at 41% off you can't possible go wrong! It's a jersey that's built like a jacket so does everything that you would need from both garments. I road tested one myself for Cycling Weekly's best long sleeved cycling jerseys just a few weeks ago and was certainly not disappointed. It's fantastically waterproof and windproof and looks absolutely brilliant on. I love mine to bits and will be pulling it on tomorrow morning before getting out for a ride. Highly recommend!

Let's be honest, having a decent helmet is the absolute number one most important bit of kit us cyclists need to own. Crashes happen... it's part and parcel of it all.

When they do then you want to make sure that you've got one of the best helmets going to rely on. Forget all the other stuff you need to get your hands, or should I say head, on this.

MET Manta MIPS Helmet: Between $245.00 and $168.00 on Sigma Sports USIf you're the type of rider looking to get that aero edge on the road as well as stay safe then this is the helmet for you. Available in several sleek colours, it's an outstanding bit of kit.

Staying hydrated whatever the weather is key to getting the most out of your ride. Camelbak bottles are so good that they were voted number one in our best cycling bottles for 2022. The best thing about the CamelBak Podium range is the anti-leak lids. From preventing sticky damp kit and bags, boots of cars or even just prevention of energy drink cascading over your white cycling shoes when descending altitude the twist lock cap does the best job we've come across.Get some!

Evening all - or good afternoon to you if you're on the other side of the Pond on the west coast. It's Simon Smythe here, your host on the blog until midnight London time, with just an hour to persuade you to buy more stuff you don't need.

Having said that, if you're a new parent with a young child or children (I am an old parent with children in that irritating in-between stage) here's something you absolutely do need.

A magnesium balance bike - that's right, a magnesium balance bike - that was unbelievably cheap in the first place at £89.99 and now only costs £59.99. It's definitely Black Friday and not April Fool's Day because I too had to check when I first saw this.

Not only is it made from a very exotic material but it has a cutout in its Lotus-like frame that looks like some sort of wake-generating air node that will save 3.5 watts at 60kph. It turns out it's actually a carry handle.

But it's not just the air node/carry handle that would make it UCI illegal like the new Bianchi Oltre RC hyperbike: it weighs 3.2kg. That's 3.6 kilos under the minimum weight limit.

However, as someone commented on our YouTube channel when we tried in Tech of the Month to ridicule Bianchi for making a bike that's not UCI legal, not everybody rides UCI races. Your toddler could simply enjoy having the fastest, lightest, most aerodynamic balance bike out there just for the sheer enjoyment.

I am just gutted that I could never afford the magnesium Pinarello Dogma back in the day and now my kids are too old for the magnesium Vitus Smoothy balance bike.

Thinking about it though, it's probably for the best. I would have been wincing every single time my kids dropped their magnesium bikes on the pavement, given them endless bollockings for having no respect for magnesium balance bikes and they would have grown up hating me even more than they will anyway.

So, good luck if you want one. here's the link below.

Vitus Smoothy: was £89.99 now £59.99 at Wiggle

The Smoothy features a unique cast magnesium frameset that's extremely functional and visually awesome. Within the design, Vitus has incorporated a useful carry handle for Mum & Dad, and some integrated footrests for that game-changing moment when your child has the confidence to glide.

You've probably noticed there's no USD price. I apologise to our friends in the USA that this is a UK-only deal. I just switched on my VPN to double check.

However - I have found something for you: the Specialized Hotwalk Carbon balance bike, which is even lighter at 2.1kg or 4.63lb, is currently on sale from $1,500 down to just $1,274.99.

And here's a picture of it - isn't it awesome?

Yes, the Specialized is extremely expensive and I really am genuinely sorry that the Vitus isn't available from Wiggle in the USA, but really you should have thought of that when you dared to draw with us at football/soccer today. It is our game, not yours. Please remember that next time and just let us win.

Garmin Rally RK200: was $1212.49 now $910.49 at Pro Bike Kit USA

The Rallys are Garmin's top-tier power meter pedal and our testing found that they work incredibly well, giving accurate readings with no frustrating drop outs or spikes. The two sided power measurement version is on a tempting discount: $189.50 off the Look Keo model and $169.50 off the Shimano version.

Garmin Rally RK200: was £929.99 , now £699.99 at Wiggle

This is currently the best price we've found the RK200 pedals in the UK. You can get them for the same amount at Garmin's own website, but with this spend you'll get on Wiggle's loyalty program and get 12% off list price across the site for a whole year - what a two in one!

These are Garmin's top tier power meters pedals and they have some excellent features to them. The main one being that you can swap the pedals bodies so, should you wish to swap cleats from Look to Shimano three-bolt - or go two-bolt Shimano for off road riding, you can do that without having to buy a whole new power meter - very handy.

You can also buy just a single-sided version and upgrade to the right pedal to power-sensing down the line, should you wish for that extra data.

But this model here is already the dual sided version and the pedal body is designed for Look cleats. For our full review on the Garmin Rally pedals, you can find that over here. Otherwise, if you're interested in how they stack up against the competition, you can find our guide to the best power meters for cycling just over here

dhb Aeron All Winter Softshell Jacket: was $170.00 , now $85.00

We've long been impressed by the combination of quality and the low prices offered by dhb. Although we have reviewed some misses in the past, the majority of their kit - and everything in our latest crop of reviews - has been excellent. This is a more weatherproofed version of the Aeron Thermal Jersey that we gave 4/5 out of five stars back in October.

dhb Aeron All Winter Softshell Jacket: was £135.00 now £67.50

dhb has become something of an bastion for cycling kit, with its huge range and combination of quality with low prices. Over the years, there have been some misses, but we've been impressed by the overwhelming majority of what we've reviewed - particularly the latest crop of kit. Most recently, we tested the less weatherproofed version of this jacket in October, the Aeron Thermal Jersey and gave it a glowing 4.5 out of five star review.

What did we ever do before softshell jackets? Those memories of having to chose between overheating in a stifling waterproof jacket or braving the elements with a fleecy long sleeve jersey that didn't do much against the wind and especially not the rain.

These days, thankfully, there is a option of a softshell jacket. These are windproof and water resistant enough to fend off a shower, meaning for the majority of your riding you don't need to worry about anything else - especially as they are still breathable enough for use on cold - but dry - days as well.

And even in full on downpours, if I'm doing a hard session where I'm generating a lot of heat, I'd rather be a damp but have the windproofing of a softshell taking the edge off than overheating in a hard shell rain jacket.

Giro Aether Spherical Road Helmet: was $240.00 , now $160.00 at Amazon

Amazon is actually stocking a huge range of different colourways here, from various shades of blue, red, green and many different levels of Fluro. Unusually, just plain black is amongst the cheapest options - so if you're not one for making a statement with your lid, you're covered for now!

Giro Aether Spherical Road Helmet: was £289.00 , now £150.00

You can actually get this helmet for £123.00 (57% off) in a red and white colourway, if you're a size medium or small. But we decided to go with the stealthy black option as it's got the full range of sizes and just looks good.

We've got reviews of the Giro Aether MIPS, the Giro Helios Spherical and the Giro Eclipse Spherical helmets - but we don't yet have a review of this particular model, the Giro Aether Spherical...

That's something which will be rectified soon, but what we can say right now is that across Giro's range we have been consistently impressed. Of those three models listed, two got an Editor's Choice award and the other was still awarded a full five stars - which gives you an idea of the calibre of Giro's range-topping lines.

If you want to check out how they stack up against the competition, you can check out our guide to the best cycling helmets we've tested here at Cycling Weekly.

Apple AirPods with Charging Case (2nd Gen): was $99.00 now $79.00

Going cable free is great in everyday life, but it's game changing for session on the indoor trainer. Being able to put your phone to one side and just concentrate on the session without being tethered by the ear makes you wonder how we ever got by without them!

Apple AirPods with Charging Case (2nd Gen): was £129.00 , now £115.00

The saving for those in the UK is a little less than over in the States, but this is the best we've been able to find and a £14.00 saving still isn't to be sniffed at!

Eagle-eyed viewers will have spotted that the image above is of the AirPods Pro rather than the standard AirPods on a discount here - but we've used both here at the Cycling Weekly offices and have greatly appreciated the cable free experience and the seamless integration with Apple devices. Although not cycling specific, they've held up well even on long, sweaty sessions.

For all the best headphones for cycling that we've reviewed, you can check out our buyer's guide over here.

We posted about the Garmin Rally power meter pedals three hours ago - but since then the price has just dropped further still!

Now the dual-sided, Look-style cleat model is just $822.99 at ProBikeKit - a 25% saving!

Unfortunately for those in the UK, there haven't been any other discounts since our earlier post - £699.99 at Wiggle is still the cheapest we've been able to find - at a 24% saving,

Knog PWR Mountain 2000L Front Light: was $224.99 , now $121.49 at ProBikeKit

Currently 46% percent off - a $103.50 saving - these Knog lights are incredible pieces of tech. They double up as a battery pack, so you can charge your phone if you ever get caught short, and you can easily program the light settings - so you can get just the flash you want without having to scroll through a million different settings.

Exposure Blaze MK2 Rechargeable Rear Light: was $125.00 , now $73.99 at Wiggle

Currently 40% off at Wiggle, exposure is a British brand synonymous with longevity and build quality. It comes with a range of optimised flash settings to best balance visibility with run time, including a DayBright pulse pattern to stand out on sunny days.

I'm a massive proponent of Knog's front lights which double up as a battery pack and allow you to program the light settings, so that you have exactly the ones you want and nothing else.

When bikepacking (and just in general life) having kit that doubles up is a massive help, and the ability to top up my phone and other electronics has gotten me out of a few tricky situations over the years.

Equally, the Exposure Blaze combines a excellent flash settings with a long battery life and a robust body that can stand up to the rough and tumble of everyday use.

We've reviewed the slightly less high powered Knog PWR Trail 1100 last year and the Exposure Blaze MK2 DayBright before that - so do check out our full write ups. Otherwise, head over to our buyer's guide on the best bike lights for a full comparison of all the best models we've reviewed.

Knog PWR Mountain 2000L Front Light: was £179.99 , now £111.49 at ProBikeKit

Not such a great discount in the UK - but 38% off and a saving of £68.50 is still a hefty reduction. With 2000 lumens, this might be a bit high powered than you really need for the roads. But you don't have to run it on the top setting, you could just enjoy the much longer battery life on the 'medium' - but still very bright - settings.

Exposure Blaze MK2 Rechargeable Rear Light: was £95.00 , now £70.99 at Tweeks Cycles

Looks like Tweeks Cycles has the best deal right now - cheaper than Sigma Sports, Wiggle, and Amazon at 26% off. This Exposure's most powerful model and has a minimum run time of six hours on full whack and up to 48 hours on its flashing settings.

Mobi V-15 Portable Bike Pressure Washer: was $147.99 , now $83.00

If a trip to the trails for a gravel ride means a short stint in the car, having a portable pressure washer to just get that first rinse on at the trail head makes a huge difference for your bike's longevity - and the state of your car!

Mobi V-15 Portable Bike Pressure Washer: was £99.99 , now £75.00

For cycling holidays, trips to the trails, early season road races or just the second half of the CX season - being able to rinse off your bike right there in the car park isn't only better for keeping your trusty steed running smoothly, but it makes the trip back much more pleasant too.

Whether you're racing, riding sportives, or if a trip in the car is just the weekly prelude to your riding, being able to give your bike a proper rinse down before the trip home makes a deep clean so much easier with the worst of the grime washed away while its still wet.

This model runs off a 12V car cigarette lighter port and comes with a 15 litre water tank and adjustable pressure - so not only can you take it easy on your bearings, you could give your dog a rinse too!

Garmin Edge 830 GPS Bike Computer: was $400.00, now $349.99

This discount is more modest compared to some of the massive reductions we've been seeing on Garmin's smartwatches. But $50 is still a good saving and the Edge 830 is one of the options in Garmin's line up, combining a touchscreen with a well balanced screen size that doesn't take up too much space on your bars.

Garmin Edge 830 GPS Bike Computer: was £349.99 , now £249.99

Although the (massively expensive) Edge 1040 Solar might be grabbing the headlines, the Edge 830 has always been one of the best models in the line up. The price is competitive (and now £100 cheaper) and the touchscreen functionality much improved over the previous 820 version. For most people, there's really no need to pay that much more for solar charging and a bigger screen

The Edge 830 pulls off a great balancing act within Garmin's range. It packs the touchscreen capabilities of the top end models along with a well-balanced screen size that's perfect for navigating with a couple of data screens on show, whilst not over-cluttering your handlebars.

The price was already competitive, but with these current discounts it becomes and even better choice. You can check out our full review of the Edge 830 here, or if you'd prefer to check out the cheaper Edge 530 model which is essentially identical other than the touchscreen, we've reviewed that too. Otherwise, here's our review of the brand new Edge 1040 Solar and its incredible battery life.

You can check out how all these units stack up against the competition in our buyer's guide to the best bike computers for cycling over here.

Castelli Intenso UL Shoecovers Shoe Covers: was $79.99 now between $32.00 and $61.00

The cheapest price is in the Yellow Fluro colourway at just $32.00, although only in a size small. The plain black is available in every size apart from large and is currently $50.00 - a 37% discount.

dhb Extreme Weather Neoprene Overshoes: was £38.00 , now £15.00

A whopping 60% discount on these heavy duty overshoes! We found them warm and robust when we had the dhb Extreme Weather Neoprene Overshoes on review last month and the value was already excellent when compared with the competition. At this price, though, they are a complete steal.

Generally you're best off buying your overshoes in late spring when retailers are trying to shift unsold stock. But for those of us who aren't quite so organised - no problem. Wiggle's running some pretty strong deals across its stock of overshoes with these Castelli and dhb options being our top picks.

For all the best overshoes that we've reviewed, you can check out our buyer's guide on the best cycling overshoes here.

Toloco Massage Gun: was $259.99 now $69.99 at Amazon

Only available in the US, the Toloco comes with ten different massage heads and 20-speed levels displayed on an LCD touch screen. You also get a carrying case for travel and up to four hours of battery life. Amazon uders seem to rate it with a 4.5 star rating from more 30,000 reviews

Theragun Pro Massage Gun: was £469.99, now £369.99 at Sigma Sports

Theragun is the name that springs to mind most when you talk massage guns. We asked physiotherapist Dr Graham Theobald to review the Theragun Pro last year and he gave it 4.5 stars, which is good enough for us!

The post-ride massage is a a staple of the pro-peloton. After every race, riders get greased up, wrap themselves in a towel and let soigneurs loose on knotted muscles. And what's good for the pros is good for us too. There are genuine benefits to amateur cyclists from a massage but, of course, unless you're in relationship with a masseuse then it's not a viable option after every ride. That's where a percussive massage gun come in you'll find plenty of these among Cyber Monday deals right now so, go on, give yourself a good pummelling.

It's fair to say that as we try to find you the best Cyber Monday bike deals we need pepping up. We started out high on life and brimmed with the natural adrenaline all good bargain hunters need. As that ebbed away, we've basically mainlined sugary treats and now we're practically snorting coffee. So, these coffee machine deals make perfect sense to us.

Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee machine by Delonghi: was $179, now $125.30 from Amazon

Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee machine by Krups: was £170, now £69 at Amazon

This'll brew you anything from an espresso to a carafe of coffee - so either one shot for just you or a jug for your ride buddies! (And yes - Krups in the UK and DeLonghi in the US...)

Some people are just impossible to buy for - my dad, for example, will always ask for pants and socks. My mum, socks and pants. So, it's been 40 years of Marks & Spencer's gift vouchers. Actually, that does make them sound very easy to buy for doesn't it? And me very lazy and unimaginative. Anyway, if you just want to stuff a bit of plastic inside a card or worse, just send a half-arsed, last minute email to a 'loved' one, at least make it from a brand like adidas! Although we would, of course, also suggest checking out our main Cyber Monday bike deals page for physical presents.

Adidas gift voucher: was $100, now $80 at Best Buy

This is a US only deal but for $80 you'll get $100 back to spend on adidas goodness. That's almost a pair of Superstars!

Shakedry your eyes mate...

News just in from our also-best-Cyber-Monday-Bike-Deal mining chums over on Cyclingnews is that Gore is to discontinue its superlight, ultra-packable but breathable and superbly waterproof Shakedry fabric.

It seems that those pesky global supply chain issues are to blame again. So, this really is one those while stocks last shout outs. Once these Gore-Tex Shakedry jackets have gone they will - in all likelihood - really be gone.

It's Rob writing this and I own both of these jackets and can confidently say that they are excellent. They pack down to pretty much the size of an apple, are breathable even when you're working hard and genuinely downpour-proof!

Castelli Idro 3 Jacket: Over £100 off

dhb Aeron FLT Roubaix Bib Tights 2.0: Was $123.00 now $61.50 on Wiggle US

Aeron is dhb's performance line of kit, made with top quality materials and a well fitting cut. This particular model combines an Elastic Interface chamois (one of the best) with a water repellent fabric for maximum comfort on long winter rides.

Kit snobs I tell you, kit snobs.dhb produce top notch kit at an affordable price which enables more people to get their hands on dhb stuff and get out pedalling. What's not to love about that?!I bought myself some dhb bib tights last winter and was thoroughly impressed. They're nice and warm thanks to the fleece lining and include a super soft and comfortable chamois.Normally £100 on Wiggle UK, but cut right down to just £50.00 this Cyber Monday 2022.Go for it and be impressed.

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1 GPS Cycling Computer: was $379.99 now $199.99

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1 GPS Cycling Computer: Was £299.99 now £199.99 on Sigma Sports UK The Wahoo Elemnt Roam is one of the very best bike computers out there. It brings what we know and love from its sister Elemnt Bolt in a slightly larger format.

Wahoo regularly feature in our best bike computers list and with good reason.

Giro Aether Spherical Road Helmet: was $299.95 , now $150 at Backcountry

This is one of the best helmets we've ever tested, being airy, comfortable and boasting a high level of protection. Of course, helmet fit is a very personal thing, but there are helmets that suit a lot more people than others and this is one of them.

Giro Aether Spherical Road Helmet: Was £289.99 now £123.00 on Sigma Sports UK An absolute favourite road bike helmet for us is the Giro Aether MIPS. On test we called it a game-changer of a road bike helmet due to its unrivalled all-around performance.

Having a decent helmet is absolutely the number one most important piece of kit us cyclists need. It really is.Having one of the best helmets around available to you will keep you safe as well as keep you looking damn good too.You don't need to spend crazy money to get a good helmet, although when a Giro Aether is on offer I highly recommend you make an exception to that rule.

Castelli Nano Flex 3G Arm Warmers: was $60.00 , now $20.00 at Sigma Sports

Not just a set of arm warmers, this Nano Flex model offers rain protection as well as being highly breathable. They're an incredible versatile piece of kit and pair especially well with a cycling vest.

Sigma Sports have some brilliant deals on a whole bunch of different warmers, although these beauties from Castelli are up there with the best. Check em out this Cyber Monday 2022.

Evening all - Simon Smythe here on the graveyard shift (London time).

I won't pretend I'm not looking forward to closing this laptop and hitting the hay. It's been a long day. But while I was willing bedtime to come around a bit sooner, I started thinking about how our friends at road.cc do this thing called 'Bike at Bedtime'. They show you beauty shots of a very sexy bike so that you can drift off to sleep fantasising about swinging a leg over it.

If my wife caught me looking at 'Bike at Bedtime' that would probably be the final straw.

She has already had enough of me sitting up until midnight two weekend nights in a row searching for Black Friday deals for Cycling Weekly ("Why does it always have to be you who works these ridiculous hours?") and has taken the kids off to her mum's for the night since I'm such a negligent dad.

So, in the meantime I'm free to ogle as many bikes at bedtime as I like. I know, I'm still supposed to be looking for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and that usually means the cheaper stuff, but I couldn't resist having a peek at a few Colnagos during my rummaging in the virtual bargain bins of the bike shops of the worldwide web.

Obviously you won't find many Colnagos in there because the whole point of a Colnago is that it's expensive, but I did spot this incredibly beautiful C64 frame at Sigma Sports with a 'frozen' paint scheme I haven't seen before.

And my writing about it here counts as work because it has a full £550 off its £5,000 list price. For US customers it doesn't have money off but costs $4,800 - you can use the same link below if you want to buy it.

Colnago C64 'frozen' integrated disc frameset (sloping geometry): was £4,999 now £4,449 at Sigma Sports

Completely hand-built in Italy, and hand-painted in a striking frozen colourway. Compatible with mechanical and electronic groupsets and with clearance for wider 28mm tyres.

I reviewed the Colnago C68, which superseded the C64 this year, and gave it full marks. The ride quality is just incredible. But although the C68 is still technically a lugged construction, the lugs are 'integrated' at the tube ends, and it has the look of a monocoque. I don't know about you, but I loved the C64's wholly visible lugs and now I miss them.

Of course the other thing that classic Colnago owners love to point out is that the C68 doesn't have Ernesto Colnago's signature on the top tube. The company is now majority owned by an Abu Dhabi investment fund and Colnago himself posted on Instagram to say that now he's sold his shares he's "not signing projects that do not belong to me."

So if you're lucky enough to fit a size 50 in the C64 - an effective top tube size of 54cm - which is the only one left at Sigma, you could not only own the last of the C series Colnagos with Ernesto's signature on it but you could also save yourself £500.

So, that's my bike at bedtime - enjoy and sweet dreams! And don't let your other half catch you...

Men's Brevet Long Sleeve Jersey: Was $210.00 now $157.50 with 25% off at Rapha US

A staple of winter riding, this midweight merino jersey is perfect for layering. Warm but breathable, it can handle hard efforts - but pair it with a hardshell rain jacket and baselayer, then you'll be sorted for the very worst of the weather.

Men's Long Sleeve Brevet Jersey: Was £155.00 now £116.25 with 25% off at Rapha UK Softshell jackets are a great development, but there is a lot still to be said for the humble long-sleeve fleecy jersey. Made with natural fibres, it feels nice against your skin and the high levels of breathability further help with feeling fresh.

Rapha doesn't 'do' Black Friday and Cyber Monday - but they are offering a 25% discount across their site. It might not be as big a discount as we're seeing on other sites as they try to clear old stock - but that is still a pretty handy reduction for some quality kit!

Plus you should actually be able to find the sizes and colours you're looking for, rather than being lured in with an 80% discount only to find that there's just one size left - invariably not yours - and the only colour is... well, there's got to be a reason it's the last one left!

Back to this jersey though, we really rated it when we had the Rapha Brevet Long Sleeve Jersey on review, finding it an excellent and versatile garment that can be worn on its own or as part of a layering system for the coldest weather. For more of the best long sleeve jerseys for cycling, you can find our buyer's guide just over here.

Mycle Comfort Electric Step Through Bike: was £1,599.00 , now £1,299.00 at Amazon

An adjustable stem allows you to easily change the handlebar height and reach to achieve a comfy riding position on this e-bike that has 45kms of range for short trips into the city. And it's practical too, thanks to the rear rack that's fitted.

Mycle Cadence Hybrid Electric bike: was £1,599.00 , now £1,299.00 at Amazon

Providing three power levels of assistance and with a seven speed drivetrain, this e-bike can be ridden easily with or without much assistance - it's more versatile than Mycle's Comfort.

E-bike brand Mycle is offering £300 off its electric hybrid bike and step through options that are well suited to city riders.

The benefit of the best electric bikes is obvious, with some pedalling less effort = less sweat. Hauling luggage is an option, and you can often even keep pace and feel more comfortable in traffic. A hybrid e-bike with a rack is a seriously practical bike that can replace car use, or using public transport. Mycles' discounted models below certainly hit the spot for this purpose.

Le Col Pro Bib Shorts: was $230.00 , now $107.25 at Le Col

Made from lightweight fabrics to encourage breathability on long rides, the Pro Bib Shorts also have a high level of compression which Le Col says is to aid oxygen flow to core muscle groups, reducing your recovery time and improving comfort.

Le Col Pro Bib Shorts: was £185.00 , now £84.17

It's not so often you get over £100 off a set of bib shorts! We've been really impressed by the bib shorts from Le Col that we've reviewed in the past and, although we haven't tested this exact model, we have reviews of the Le Col Pro Indoor bib shorts and the Le Col Hors Categorie Bib Shorts II - and found them excellent, if expensive at full price.

It might not exactly be bib shorts weather for most of us in the Northern Hemisphere right now, but they can always find application on the indoor trainer and - if nothing else - it can be a good investment for the spring and summer riding that's just around the corner!

Or at least, we'll keep on telling ourselves it's just around the corner until it becomes true, it'll make the winter more bearable. For all our top picks of the best bib shorts we've reviewed, check out our buyer's guide over here.

US - VanMoof S3: was $2,548 , now $1,848 at VanMoof

With integrated anti-theft tech and automatic electronic gear shifting, the S3 is really built to make cycling into the city an easy and stress-free affair. It also has a range of 37 to 93 miles that'll cover even the longest commutes to work.

UK - VanMoof S3: was £2,248 , now £1,548 at VanMoof

Onboard alarms and smart location tracking with a remote lockdown mode are just a couple of the urban-specific tech details that have been sleekly integrated into this electric bike.

$700 / £700 off VanMoof's S3 electric bike is a deal that's not to be missed - use the code TURBO700 at checkout to apply this saving.

Sleek and smart in black, VanMoof is an urban-focused bike brand that cares about all the little details that'll make riding into the city on a regular basis the enjoyable and hassle-free experience it can be. For our top picks of the best e-bikes for every kind of rider, check out our buyer's guide over here.

Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Disc Wheelset: was $949 , now $806.65 at Hunt

This is the exact wheelset model that was ridden to victory on Stage 11 of the 2021 Giro d'Italia - and the full RRP is under four figures! It's enough to make you think twice about the multi-thousand dollar wheels ridden by those World Tour teams... Even better, you can now save over $140 off that list price as well

Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Disc SL Wheelset: was £899 , now £719.20 at Hunt

You couldn't really pick out a better allrounder in Hunt's range. At 50mm deep, you get a noticeable aero boost whilst still not adding too much weight (only 1,429g, claimed), and even at full retail price they are much cheaper than the big name brands - and now they're 20% off!

Hunt's reputation for high quality wheelset at incredible prices is so well established there's no need for me to cover it any more deeply here. Likewise, the 'whitepaper' publications of the brand's windtunnel testing - much more detailed and more open than the majority of Hunt's competitors - is similarly well known.

What I will say is that the British brand is still running its Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale and the stock lines are running out fast. Most wheel models are discounted by either 20 or 15% - but you can get and extra $40 / £40 off if you buy two sets and use the offer code BLACKFRIDAY40.

And for the two wheelsets detailed above, you also get the Hunt Road Accessory Bundle thrown in, which incudes a neat cycling cap and water bottle - or casquette and bidon, for all you franco-velophiles out there! For our top picks of the best road wheels we've reviewed, check out our buyer's guide here.

Tifosi Rail photochromic sunglasses: was $79.95 , now $63.96 at Tifosi

We've long been impressed by the quality and price of Tifosi's photochromic sunglasses - but the Rail line just released this year has really taken things up another notch. The large frameless lens goes toe to toe with the fashionable looks of Oakley and 100% - but much much cheaper

Tifosi Rail photochromic sunglasses: was £79.99 , now £55.99 at Tifosi

We've got a set of these on review and we've been really impressed so far. The transition between light and dark is a bit slower and not as contrasting as you get with the very most expensive models, well into three figures. But unless money really is no object for you, these are the much better buy.

Tifosi has long been one of our go-to brands for good quality and keenly priced cycling sunglasses. The Rail was just launched earlier this year and it hits all the big lens / no frame style cues being pushed by the likes of 100% and Oakley. But much, much cheaper.

Currently the US site is offering a 20% off a $50- $99 spend and 30% off if you're spending over $100 - so if you're picking up two of these then the price drops to $55.96!

To check out the full range of all the best cycling sunglasses we've reviewed, our buyer's guide is just over here.

State Bicycle Co. 6061 e-bike commuter: was $1,199.99 now $1,499.99 at State Bicycle Co.

Using a single-speed drivetrain and rolling on robust 40cs, this aluminium model keeps things simple and practical for uneven city roads. Set to the highest level of assistance you'll get around 18 to 24 miles of support, or up to 100 miles if you happy spinning on the lowest setting.

State Bicycle Co. 6061 Black Label All-Road: was $1,399.99 now $1,099.99 at State Bicycle Co.

Kitted out with an 11-speed drivetrain and disc brakes, this is a very well-specced aluminium gravel bike that comes in at an accessible price. 700c wheels with slick tires or 650bs with knobbly ones, State Bicycle Co. lets the choice be yours!

State Bicycle Co. have holiday sales on across it's massive range of flat bar singlespeed and fixed gear bikes, and the savings span drop bar geared options too, with discounts up to 30%.

Below are some standout deals, but be sure to check out State Bicycle Co's site here as the savings are pretty consistent across their range, and so you may find a different model suits your particular needs better. For more fixie goodness, check out our guide to the best singlespeed and fixed gear bikes.

Adidas has dropped some insane discounts on its ever-expanding cycling range this Cyber Monday. There's so many great deals that we've pulled all our top picks into a dedicated page on the best Adidas cycling deals this Cyber Monday over here: from 54% off gravel shoes to SPD-compatible city kicks (the Adidas Velosambas), there's something for all kinds of riders.

US - Adidas The Velosamba Vegan Cycling Shoes: was $130.00, now $62.40 at Adidas

Designed to look good off the bike, these are also excellent for urban riding, as they're compatible with two-bolt cleats. The reflective heel and stripe detailing these are practical, too, for riding in and out of the city in low light conditions.

Use the code CYBER to claim the full discount.

UK - Adidas The Velosamba Vegan Cycling Shoes: was £110.00, now £73.70 at Adidas

We found Adidas' two-bolt cleat compatible Velosambas ideal for urban riding - they're very well made, comfy to ride in and look great. They also provided decent grip when walking.

For the full range of Adidas cycling clothing and shoes on offer go to the Adidas US site here, and Adidas UK is over this way.

Blue Light Card supports the NHS, emergency services, social care sector and armed forces by providing workers with discounts online and in store.

Generally Blue Light Card discounts are applied on top of existing Black Friday/Cyber Monday price cuts, so if you're a card holder you could be even more quids-in.

A lot of retailers have signed up to the scheme - the number has increased massively since the pandemic - and that includes Wiggle, Chain Reaction, Tredz, Rutland, Halfords, Garmin, Adidas and Endura.

For non-cycling Blue Light Card holders there are businesses signed up to the scheme from the fashion, gift, health and beauty, home and leisure, sports and fitness, kids and toys, tech and mobile sectors.

Sadly cycling journalists don't qualify, even though we do regularly like to point out that getting people to ride bikes saves lives. Blue Light Card, are you listening?!

Hello! It's Adam here taking over into the evening in the UK here, as we head towards Cyber Monday. I'll be updating this page with any exciting deals I see on my travels around the internet.

There are so many great deals on Adidas products that we've pulled all our top picks into a dedicated page on the best Adidas cycling deals this Cyber Monday over here: from 54% off gravel shoes to SPD-compatible city kicks (the Adidas Velosambas), there's something for all kinds of riders.

However, we thought it was worth highlighting - if you will pardon the pun - these funky neon road shoes. Adidas only recently got back into the cycling game, but these look like a great pick, and the colour means you will be visible in winter conditions.

You can also customise the pair with some text for £5 per shoe, if you wanted to show off or make sure everyone conclusively knows which shoes are yours. Sadly this is a UK only deal, although there are other shoes in the Adidas collection in the Black Friday sale in the US.

Adidas The Road Shoes: was £130 , now £84.50

All of the colours of The Road shoes have discounts on the Adidas website, but the glow-in-the-dark ones have the most off. No BOA dials or ratchets here, the traditional laces helping with the clean look of the shoe. Compatible with three-bolt cleats like Shimano and LOOK.

If you're looking for a way of combining exercise tracking with a lifestyle watch, then the Apple Watch Ultra might be the one for you. It is incredibly rugged and keeps going; the answer to the question 'what if I wanted an Apple watch but I want to climb Mount Everest with it?'.

It might not have a huge amount of money off on Amazon, but any money off is good when it comes to an Apple watch, as they rarely go on sale. It's only a 4% discount, but that translates into £30 such is the price of this watch. It comes with both GPS and a cellular connection, meaning you will never get lost with this on your wrist.

If you're someone who prefers a smartwatch to a bike computer, then this one is near perfect, and is also useful off the bike, unlike a Garmin or a Wahoo.

Apple Watch Ultra in orange: was £849 , now £819 on Amazon

The smartwatch can last for up to 36 hours on a single charge, perfect for those long weekends riding, whether on or off road. It has an "Always-On" retina display, which means it is very easy to see what's going on and track your activities. If you are a proper explorer, it has a built in compass, and a siren that can be heard 180 metres away.

Apple Watch Ultra in yellow: was $799 , now $739

It's the yellow one that is on offer in the USA, with slightly more money off than over here. Considering the product started off as cheaper in the States than in Britain too, this seems like a very good deal. It is water resistant up to 100m too, if you're the kind of person who dives as well as cycles.

There are all kinds of headphones and earphones deals this Black Friday, and we've done a roundup of the best headphones deals on a standalone page. I've just spotted this deal on Jabra earphones on Amazon, which I wish I had waited for when I bought my last pair - I've got Jabras that I use when running and cycling, and just generally mooching around.

They're a really solid option, and with the discount, you can get a pair of great headphones for well under £100. Obviously, there are dangers inherent in blocking your ears while cycling, so it might be a good idea to use the "Hearthrough" system on the Jabras to ensure that your ears are open to road noise.

If you fancy something away from Apple's Airpods or try a different company away from Samsung, then these might be the ones for you.

Jabra Elite 4 Active: was £119.99 , now £79 on Amazon

The fourth generation of the Elite Active buds are designed for an exercise-heavy lifestyle, coming with IP57 protection from dust, sweat and water, meaning they will keep going whatever the weather and however intense your workout is going. This pair have a lovely 34% off too.

Jabra Elite 4 Active: was $119.99 , now $79.99 on Amazon

The noise cancelling technology on the Jabras allows you to listen to music or podcasts, or make calls, in perfect sound. Combined with the four microphones, you can be heard by the person you're calling in crystal clear quality.

Jabra Elite 7 Active: was £169.99 , now £119

The Elite 7 earphones are Jabra's top offering and come with "ShakeGrip", which is the company's guarantee that they will not come out of your ears whatever happens. They have Active Noise Control too, which allows your to tune them perfectly to your volumes.

Jabra Elite 7 Active: was $179.99 , now $95.45

You get even more money off if you're buying the Elite 7s in America, they're almost half price in fact, with 47% off. They're designed for a comfortable fit while exercising, which could make them perfect for cycling.

If you're in the market for a new bike, Cyber Monday is probably the perfect time to do it, with huge savings across lots of sites. You can have a look at some of the best ones on our Cyber Monday bike deals page, but I thought I'd pull out this Cannondale deal that is worth taking a punt on if you're looking for a mid level bike.

I had a Cannondale CAAD 13 that I absolutely loved, and this basically has the same geometry and aggressive positioning as that, but with a full carbon frameset. This is the base model with Shimano 105, but that's no bad thing; it might just be your dream bike.

If you have the means, now is the best time to get that new model that will make your winter all the better, and enter 2023 with that new bike feeling.

Sadly, this is only available as an offer in the UK, but we will keep looking for some deals in the USA too!

Cannondale SuperSix Evo 105: was £2,850 , now £1,999

Available in 54cm and 60cm models, the SuperSix Evo 105 is an excellent choice for a first carbon bike. It's an all-round road machine that adapts to any riding scenario with consummate ease, and because it's disc brakes it can take up to 30mm tyres, which means it's versatile.

It is well worth thinking about cleaning your bike. I need to for sure, it's still a bit mucky from a brief spin I went on last Wednesday. To help you with this task, Muc-Off's eight in one bike cleaning kit has £15 off on Wiggle. It comes with four brushes, their popular pink bike cleaner, bike maintenance spray, a sponge and the eighth thing is the container itself. Apparently it's a bucket, although it does look just like a container.

A clean bike is a clean mind, or something like that. It will certainly make your next ride all the better if the drivetrain actually works properly and isn't full of grime. Remember to clean!

There are other brands out there, but Muc-Off is very good at what it does.

Muc-Off 8 in 1 Bike Cleaning Kit: was £42.99 , now £27.99 on Wiggle

There's a reason why Muc-Off is the most popular cleaning brand in bikes in the UK, and it's because it's stuff works really well. Oh, and the marketing is great too. The kit is ideal for cleaning your machine once you have completed your wet or muddy ride during the winter months.

Muc-Off Drivetrain Cleaner Kit: was $64.99 now $45.95 on Mike's Bikes

Sadly the whole cleaning kit is not on sale in the USA, but the drivetrain cleaning one is, and cleaning your drivetrain is probably the most important thing - it is the bit of your bike that keeps you going after all. I swear by the yellow degreaser.

Sadly not the kind of ride you'll be going on in December

Rapha Women's Pro Team Winter Tights: was £230 , now £172.50 at Rapha

Now we're delving into winter, it's probably time to bust out the winter tights, and what better than this pair of Rapha Pro Team ones? They will be super warm and might just be the thing that convinces you to do the Festive 500 this year.

Rapha Women's Pro Team Winter Tights: was $320, now $243.75 at Rapha

This might sound like a lot of money, but these bib tights are the kind of thing that will last for years, and leave you wondering how you ever survived without them. The tights feature a three-layer fabric that offers water resistance to the front, and warm yet breathable thermoroubaix panels at the back.

Sadly, for us in the northern hemisphere, it is going to be cold for the next few months at least, so it is time to start thinking about keeping warm while out on rides. With the Pro Team Bib Tights from Rapha, you can just focus on keeping those legs spinning while the clever fabrics keep you nice and toasty.

While you can check out all our Cyber Monday deals on another page, I thought it would be worth highlighting these tights as I know many people that swear by them.

The women's versions also feature a handy clip on the back of the stretchy braces - not sure what to call them - that can be undone, meaning you can take the tights down mid-ride without having to fully take your jersey off, known as going a full Tom Dumoulin.

This pair are designed specifically for a woman's anatomy, with a specially designed chamois pad to keep you comfortable.

To get these deals, and a host more on the Rapha website, you just have to enter "SAVE25" at the checkout. Simple. Thanks us later.

Wahoo Kickr V5: Was $1,199.99, now $799.99 at Wahoo

In our top-end indoor trainer grouptest last year, this was the top performing model. The ride feel was excellent, the power accuracy, max gradient and max resistance were all competitive and the carry handle combined with the folding legs makes this one of the most easily portable indoor trainers too.

Wahoo Kickr V5: Was £999.99, now £699.99 at Wahoo

As mentioned above, this trainer was the best in class in our top-end turbo trainer grouptest last year. But what is really incredible that this discounted price is the same as two of the turbos in our entry-level grouptest this year - it wouldn't have just won that test, it would utterly have blown the competition out of the water.

We're quite surprised there's still stock of this trainer, as it was heavily discounted from the start of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend. The reduced price is actually the same as the astonishing 50% discount we found on its arch rival, the Tacx Neo 2 - but stock has run out on that particular deal and now the cheapest option we can find is $1,119.99 / £899.99.

Which leaves this as one of the best deals still going - but do be quick, the stock can't be set to last much longer than it already has!

If you want to dig into the details of the Wahoo Kickr V5, you can find our Wahoo Kickr V5 review right here. Likewise, our Tacx Neo 2T review is just over here. Finally, if you want to check out how all these top end models of indoor trainer compare with each other, you can find our indoor trainer buyer's guide just over here.

Wahoo Kickr Snap turbo trainer: was $499.99 , now $299.99 at Competitive Cyclist

The Kickr Snap may not be as flashy as some direct-drive trainers but it still offers the indoor cyclist plenty. In fact it provides the smart functionality of Wahoo's more expensive options as well as realistic ride feel. Indeed, for some it's foldable design may make it a more practical option - and at this reduced price it's certainly kinder on the wallet.

Wahoo Kickr Snap turbo trainer: was £429.00 , now £299.99 at Wiggle

Wahoo's training platform is highly regarded and it's Kickr Snap trainer is an affordable entry point - especially with this 30% reduction. The Snap is a wheel-on trainer but it still offers all the benefits of being 'smart', as well as up providing up toto 1,500 watts of resistance and simulated gradients of up to 12%. On top of all this, it's foldable design means it can be easily stored away between training rides.

The world of indoor training has grown exponentially in recent years, with more and more kit available. For the serious indoor athlete, the garden shed or garage with a old turbo trainer squeezed between a lawn mower and a broken sun lounger has been replaced with a dedicated training room complete with high-end direct drive smart trainer, flat screen TV and cooling fan.

But not all of us, including me, have the space for such a room. We still need a smaller, portable and foldable turbo but one that has plenty of decent features too - and Wahoo's Kickr Snap is one such trainer. In our guide to the best turbo trainers on the market we rated it highly, describing it as the 'best non-direct drive turbo on the market', which is high praise indeed.

It's still available at a greatly reduced price, so worth acting on if you're a bit short of space but want to get stuck into some focused indoor training this winter.

dhb Classic Thermal Bib Tights: was $100 , now $50.00 at Wiggle

Dhb's bib tights are classically styled and feature all you need to stay warm and comfortable during your winter rides. The Roubaix fleece fabric takes care of the former, with the brushed inner feeling cozy against the skin, while the NICE anatomic pad is comfortable, even over longer distances. Without a discount, they're keenly priced, but with a 50% markdown they're a genuine bargain.

dhb Classic Thermal Bib Tights: was £80.00 , now £40.00 at Wiggle

Winter bib tights can be pricey but dhb delivers an affordable option that, given the discount here, becomes an absolute steal! Made from a stretchy and warm Roubaix fleece material that has a high front, they're ideal for cold rides when you need to keep your legs and your core warm. The NICE anatomic pad has a central relief channel for improved comfort over longer distances, while the breathable fabric has reflective details to help you stay seen in low-light conditions

In my last post I extolled the virtues of a 'fold away' turbo trainer for those of us with less space around the house and perhaps for those of us who are also less inclined to want or need a dedicated indoor training room. And there's good reason for that.

Despite the fact that the winter months can throw up some pretty miserable days, certainly if you're out on a bicycle, it can also be a great time to ride. Crisp, sunny mornings that make you feel alive...you get the picture. Combating the cold is partly a state of mind but mostly to do with having the correct wardrobe. And this starts with a good pair of winter bib tights. We've reviewed plenty in our guide to the best winter tights and at varying price points too.

Of course you can spend a small fortune of a pair of bib tights. But you don't have to. Dhb's offering is a good example of a piece of cycling clothing that offers all you need and nothing you don't and currently comes at reduced price that might just compel you to buy two pairs!

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1: was $379.99, now $199.99 at Wahoo

So the Roam has now been updated, leaving the V1 as the outgoing model - and one that can now be enjoyed for under 200 bucks. It's still a quality head unit, with a 2.7" display screen that's ideally suited to navigation and training. You can find our full review here.

Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1: was £299.99 , now £199.99 at Wiggle

The Roam V1 might have been updated recently but it still offer plenty, including GPS functionality, a colour screen measuring 2.7" with an ambient light sensor that changes to match the light conditions and simple, wireless connectivity to your favourite mapping and training apps as well as your indoor trainer.

While today's cycling computers aren't updated quite as often as their smartphone counterparts the advent of new features means that older models are replaced in the brand's line-up while still being perfectly functional items.

In fact 'old' is rarely 'really old' and this can be good news for us cyclists. Previous generation GPS head units can be found for a fraction of the cost of the latest model. -and you may find they still offer the features that you're looking for.

You can delve into our guide to the best cycling computers to compare models and find the right computer for you - but the Wahoo Elemt Roam V1 is a solid example of an 'older' model that's on sale but that still offers plenty, especially if mapping features are key to you.

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: was $599.99 , now $399.99 at Amazon

The Edge 1030 Plus is a large-screened GPS head unit that's really easy to read - meaning if you're into maps and training data it's a great match. It's been replaced as the top-tier unit in Garmin's line-up with the Edge 1040 but this does mean that it's now offered at a greatly reduced price.

Garmin Edge 1030 Plus: Was £519.99 , now £299.99 at Chain Reaction

Saving over £200 makes this Garmin Edge 1030 Plus a genuine deal - and what's more it's still a truly great head unit despite no longer being Garmin's flagship model. It's large 3.6" touchscreen makes it perfectly suited to reading maps as well as checking out your training data and enjoying features like ClimbPro, which help you manage your efforts when climbing. Other noteworthy details include a battery life of up to 24 hours.

My last post featured the Wahoo Elemnt Roam V1 as a fine example of an outgoing cycling head unit that's still really good and can now found for a greatly reduced price.

Well, the same goes for the Garmin Edge 1030 Plus. It's been surpassed in Garmin's line-up but that doesn't mean that it's been ready to be consigned to the 'old tech' drawer in your house that's packed full of phone chargers for obsolete models. In fact, it's still a heck of computer, full of features and functions to help you navigate new routes and train more efficiently.

In our extensive guide to the best cycling computers we gave it a rave review, describing it as 'all-singing, all-dancing'. Little's changed since that review, except the price, with the 1030 now available at a discount that can save you as much as $200 if you're in the US and similar savings here in the UK.

Specialized S-Works Prevail II Vent: was $250.00 , now $124.95 at Specialized

The release of the S-Works Prevail III means the II is now being offered at a greatly reduced price, but it's still a helmet worthy of your attention. As the name suggests it's designed to keep you cool, with Specialized removing seven foam bridges in the helmet's structure to improve ventilation. But it's designed to keep you safe too, with MIPS used to better protect your head against rotational forces during an accident.

Specialized S-Works Prevail II Vent: was £240.00, now £120.00 at Specialized

The Prevail is now in its third iteration but the S-Works II Vent is still a high-performing helmet that's ideally suited to hot climates - or those of you who are prone to overheating when riding hard. It's highly vented and lightweight, with expanded channels designed to move air over your head faster and more efficiently. At 50% off retail it's a real bargain - and one that's unlikely to be around for long.

Given it's primary function, a cycling helmet isn't necessarily an item you want to scrimp on. That said, protective lids have become pretty expensive affairs, with the best cycling helmets sometimes costing north of $200 / £200. Of course, the top-tier models do more than just protect your head, they can also keep you cool, or make you a little more aero while ensuring that you're comfortable, too.

Specialized's S-Works Prevail II Vent is one such helmet. At retail it's a pricey number that's focused on, surprise, surprise, maximising ventilation. It's no longer the US brand's most current Prevail - the III was released recently and reviewed here at CW - but if you're after a summer-proof helmet you could do far worse, especially with this saving that makes it far more affordable and comparable in price to heavier and hotter models.

Oakley Jawbreaker Prizm Dual Lens sunglasses: Was $282.00 , now $150.00 at Wiggle

The Jawbreaker is something of a design classic, with its large, vented lens and 'wide vision' frame shape. Here it's offered in a matt black and comes with two sets of lenses: the Prizm road lens, which boosts contrast and clarity in bright conditions and a low-light lens that's perfectly suited to most winter riding conditions. This deal, when combined with Wiggle's EXTRA10 code, gives you a 56% discount, which suggests they won'r around for long.

Oakley Jawbreaker Prizm Dual Lens sunglasses: Was £230.00 , now £139.99 at Wiggle

Oakley's Jawbreaker sunglasses have been around for a while but they're still as relevant as ever thanks to the large lens and wide field of vision. This edition comes with two lens types, a Prizm road lens and low-light lens. Combined it means you can use the Jawbreaker year round and during a range of light conditions. Add Wiggle's EXTRA10 code to the already sizable discount and you have yourself a genuine bargain on a premium pair of shades.

Black Friday is a competitive affair, with retailers battling hard for your attention, and ultimately your business. This means that prices continue to get slashed throughout the weekend and into today, Cyber Monday.

Wiggle, which is already offering up to as much as 60% off a range of cycling gear, has now released a code that gives you an additional 10% off a selected range of Black Friday deals.

The code is EXTRA10 and is valid from 10am today BST until 9am on Dec 1st.

Good deals turn into great deals with this code - such as Oakley's Jawbreaker PRIZM sunglasses (complete with spare clear lens ideally suited for low-light winter riding), that given this 10% boost are now more than 50% off retail in the US and close to half the original price in the UK.

If you're interested in comparing the Jawbreaker with other similar models before you buy, why not check out our guide to the best cycling sunglasses, which includes a review of the Jawbreaker.

Brompton C Line Explore 6-Speed folding bike: Was $1,755 , now $1,404 at Huckberry

The C Line Explore is certainly an iconic design, with a 3-part construction that sees it fold up neatly and in seconds (with a little practice). It means it's ideally suited to take on the subway as well as a bike that fits into even the smallest of apartments, not to mention storing easily at the office. Built in London, it features a 6-speed drivechain, fenders and durable tires.

Brompton C Line Explore 3-Speed folding bike: Was £1,2500 , now £1,100 at Halfords

What more can be said about the classic C Line Explore that hasn't already been stated time and again? It's simply the ideal city bike, with a three-part design that's easy to operate and sees the bike reduced to a small size that makes carrying and storage straightforward. City streets are no match for the C Line, which comes equipped with mudguards, puncture resistant tyres and durable handbuilt wheels..

The Brompton name has been synonymous with folding city bikes for many years and today the British brand and its handy machines remain as desirable as ever.

Personally I'm a fan of any bike that encourages people to leave their car at home when heading into the city or town but Bromptons do have a particular appeal - in CW's guide to the best folding bikes we describe's the Brompton C Line as a 'market leader', which is unquestionably true and why they aren't always seen at discounted prices.

However Cyber Monday often throws up deals that you won't likely see during other sales events and we've found a couple of deals on Brompton C-Lines that are worthy of your attention.

Kryptonite New York FAHGETTABOUDIT Mini Lock: Was $153.94 , now $115.46 at Walmart

This compact lock u-lock weighs just a little shy of 4.5lbs making it easy to carry in a bag. However when it comes time to lock up your bike the New York lock is more than up to the task thanks to a 18mm hardened steel shackle and a cylinder that's both pick and drill resistant. This saving makes it even more enticing.

Kryptonite New York FAHGETTABOUDIT Mini Lock: £119.99, now £68.99 on Amazon

The New York mini u-lock is designed to fit easily into a bag or to be carried on your bike while still providing ample protection. To help keep your bike safe it combines a double deadbolt design that's created to resist 'twist' attacks alongside a 18mm steel shackle and a pick and drill resistant cylinder - all of which adds up to a Sold Secure Gold rating.

Bike theft remains a real problem and owning a solid lock is still the most effective deterrent we have as cyclists wanting to leave our bikes unattended. While it's true that a canny and determined thief can probably get through most locks, a bike that's been locked up properly is likely to see them move on to one that's not.

CW has put together a comprehensive guide to the best bike locks and it's well worth checking out if you're looking to buy a lock in the near future - perhaps even today given the number of deals still available.

I've highlighted Kryptonite's New York Fahgettaboudit mini lock here, partly because I used to call the Big Apple home and miss it dearly but mostly because it's a fine lock that well-suited to big - and not so big - city conditions and is currently available at considerable discount both in the US and UK.

Zipp 303 Firecrest wheelset: Was $1687.00 , now $1395.99 at ProBikeKit

The 303 Firecrest is a carbon all-rounder that equally at home on light gravel as it is smooth blacktop. The internal rim width has been boosted to 25mm, which alongside Zipp's hookless rim technology enables the wheel to match today's wider tubeless tires. It adds up to an aerodynamically efficient wheel that weighs under 1,400g for the set. This deal see the pair reduced by more than $250.

Zipp 303 Firecrest wheelset: Was £1,687 , now £1,299,99 at ProBikeKit

With hookless technology and a 25mm internal rim width, the carbon Zipp 303 Firecrest is designed to work with wider tubeless tyres - making it an ideal wheels set for 'all roads' including those that are less than smooth. Other details include a new ZR1 DB hub that features 66 points of engagement.

Road and gravel wheels have seen plenty of development in recent years, driven in no small part by the tubeless tire revolution. The trend for higher volume tires run at lower pressures has required wheel manufacturers to rethink its design principles. The result has been widening inner rim measurements as well the birth of hookless rims - and you can read CW's guide to the best road wheels and the best gravel wheels to compare and contrast current models before you buy.

Hookless rim technology is integral to Zipp's ethos and its commitment to tubeless set-ups for all disciplines. I sat down earlier in the year with Zipp to discuss its tubeless wheel development ahead of Paris-Roubaix and it was certainly enlightening; the 303 Firecrest wheelset featured heavily in our conversation and boasts its most up-to-date tech - and its available at some decent discounts today.

Continental Grand Prix 5000 tire: Was $58.00 , now from $35.00 at Sigma Sports

Continental's GP 5000 clincher tires are a great all-rounder. The combine a grippy Black Chili compound with a micro profile structure on the tire's shoulder to aid cornering alongside tear-resistant fibers to promote durability and what Continental describes as 'active comfort technology' that's embedded in the the tire' construction for a smoother ride.

Continental Grand Prix 5000 tire: Was £66.00 , now from £33.00

The Grand Prix 5000 is a common sight on many a road bike and with good reason. It's a tyre equipped for a range of road conditions and rider requirements. It's Black Chili compound is both fast and grippy, while the tear-resistant fibres make it resistant to punctures. The 25mm width is the cheapest option offered in this deal.

The last post highlighted some keenly priced Zipp 303 wheels as well as discussing the virtues of wider, tubeless tires. However, not all of us are looking for 28mm+ road tires. In fact if you have a rim brake road bike, as many of us still do, then it might be that 25mm is not just your preferred size but all that your bike frame clearance will allow.

Despite the industry's love affair with all things tubeless fortunately 'traditional' width road tires are still available. We feature a number of them in our guide to the best road tyres as well as our line up of the best winter tyres.

While you will likely have your favourites, in my mind there still might be a better road tire than Continental's Grand Prix 5000s. When it comes to a solid all-rounder that blends grip with road feel and puncture resistance it's hard to beat, especially when there are deals to be had on the narrower 25mm and 23mm versions.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): was £249 , now £229 at Amazon

If you are an Apple-head, then a pair of AirPods Pro are a must buy. They work better with an iPhone than anything else out there, obviously, and now they've been wireless for a few years, they are perfect for a workout.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): was $ 249 , now $199.99

You get a better deal on AirPods in the US than in the UK, with 20% off over there, the perfect Christmas present. The second generation is the latest model, launched only a couple of months ago, and this is the best discount we've seen so far.

AirPods are an absolute staple, with Apple dominating the earbud scene just like it does the phone market. The AirPods Pro have Adaptive Transparency built in, meaning you can continue to hear the world around you while using them, which is advisable if you are going to use them while riding a bike; you can switch between this mode and Active Noise Cancelling with just the touch of a button. They stay put in your ears as well, with a range of silicone tip sizes to make sure they fit perfectly.

Of course, there is a whole range of stuff out there beyond Apple, and beyond the AirPods Pro too, so check out our Cyber Monday headphone deals page if you want to see the full picture. However, there is a reason why Apple products are so popular, and the AirPods have become iconic so quickly.

Ticwatch E3: was £179.99 , now £134.49 at Amazon

This is an excellent option if you want a smart watch and are prepared to go for a lesser known brand to get those savings. The Ticwatch can keep track of over 100 different types of workout, and is waterproof enough to take for a swim if you fancy getting off your bike.

Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition: was $299 , now $199

The sixth generation Fossil smartwatch automatically tracks activity goals, steps, sleep, heart rate, cardio, and blood oxygen levels. It has a good GPS tracker to make sure your activities are fully logged on Strava afterwards, obviously.

Smartwatches are a crucial part of life these days, allowing for activity to be tracked right from your wrist, and providing all the right information when you need it, and sometimes when you don't. Many people opt for the Apple Watch or one of the many Garmin products on offer, but if you're prepared to shop around a bit and plump for a lesser known brand, or one that isn't known as much - like a Ticwatch or a Fossil - then there are big savings to be found out there.

Both of these watches use an Android operating system, so work best with phones that have this too, like Samsungs or Google Pixels, but are compatible with more.

Obviously if you're a keen cyclist, you probably have a bike computer already, but a watch can do quite a bit more than your Garmin Edge or Wahoo Elmnt, providing metrics all day round, and can help you improve your fitness away from the bike too.

Wattbike Atom: was £2,399 , now £2,149 at Wattbike

You have just over two days to take advantage of this deal on the Wattbike Atom, which is a massive 10% off the list price. If you would rather a standalone home trainer rather than a smart turbo to put your bike onto, then the Wattbike is one of the best options.

Wattbike Atom: was $3,399 , now $2,899 at Wattbike

If you live in California, you can take part in this fantastic deal on the Wattbike Atom, saving 15% on the list price. It's easy to pair up and get going, and then has tonnes of metrics to improve your training. It's well worth a punt if you're looking for a new home training experience.

The Wattbike Atom has been one of the best home trainers out there ever since it was first released. When we reviewed the Next Generation version last year, we said: "At £1,999 the Wattbike Atom Next Generation isn't cheap, but does weigh in with a friendlier price tag than both Wahoo and Tacx's dedicated smart bikes. This is a refinement of an already superb product. It's a heavy trainer that needs assigning to a room, garage or shed, but it's small enough to sit unobtrusively in a corner while not in use. Having already given the original Atom full marks out of 10 in 2018, unfortunately I can't score the Next Gen an 11/10, but I would if I could..."

There we have it, then, it is well worth the price. Even better news is that if you sign up to the mailing list, you can get $50 off in the USA and £100 off in the UK too, meaning you might be able to save even further.

If this isn't your kind of thing, then do keep looking at our picks of the best Cyber Monday bike deals out there, but then again, a new smart trainer might be the perfect thing to keep your legs spinning this winter. And it might save on the heating bills, too.

Sony DSCWX350 Digital Compact: was £230 , now £199 at Amazon

A top bit of kit that really does not weigh too much at all, the DSCWX350 is perfect for a day out on the bike. It has an 18.2 megapixel camera, which should be more than enough for some crisp shots, and comes with a 20X zoom as well, for things far away. It's easy to get photos off with WiFi connectivity too, so for under £200 this seems like a steal.

Olympus PEN E-PL10 Micro Four Thirds System Camera: was £649.99 , now £524.99 at Amazon

The new compact and lightweight PEN from Olympus could take your photography to the next level. Its 16 megapixels with image stabilisation delivers superb image quality and fine detail. It's compact and lightweight, too.

Olympus PEN E-PL10: was $649.99 , now $599.99 at Amazon

Why make anything difficult? Just keep it simple with a point-and-shoot camera like the PEN E-PL10, which is easy to use and you can just pop it in a pocket ready to use.

Sony Alpha 6400: was £999 , now £899 at Amazon

If you are looking for some top tech in your jersey pocket, then the Alpha 6400 might be one for you. It has incredibly quick autofocus, which means that you can capture something at a moments notice. Sony says it is ideal for "starters and advanced users who wants a compact everyday lens".

Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR: was $699.99 , now $549 at Amazon

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a photographer, then something a bit more professional like this Canon might be for you. It might be a bit big for a pocket, but could be worn on a strap while riding. It's equipped with a 24.1 Megapixel CMOS image sensor for highly detailed, vibrant photos and videos even in low light.

Something that might be worth a thought this Cyber Monday is a camera to take on your cycling adventures. While pretty much all of us have a pretty good camera on our phones these days, there's something different about having a dedicated bit of tech. I have a mate who never goes on a big bike ride without his SLR, and he has taken some of the best photos of me, stuff that would never happen on your iPhone or Samsung, however many pixels it has.

The good news is that there are lots of deals on cameras out there if you know where to look, I've brought a few notable discounts from Amazon together.

It might be a bit too much for your jersey pockets, in which case you might want to think about carrying it on a specialised strap on in your camera bag, but if you take a camera, you'll make your friends happy and also create some great memories along the way.

Peloton Cycling Shoes: was $125 , now $87.50 at Amazon

These are shoes designed specifically for the Peloton Bike and Bike+, in order for a perfect workout experience. They would be the right choice for someone just starting out on their indoor cycling experience, with an easy to use ratchet system. They're breathable too, which is useful in indoor sessions.

Peloton Cycling Shoes: was £120 , now £84 at Amazon

You get just as much of a discount in the UK as well, saving 30% on the basic Peloton shoes. They come with the Delta cleats which fit the bike, and together with this pair will allow you to revolutionise your workouts.

Peloton's heyday during the pandemic seems like a long time ago now, but the smart bike system is still one of the most popular indoor bikes around, and for good reason. It might not come with the precise metrics like the Wattbike Atom or the Wahoo Kickr, but it could be the perfect introduction to home training. We wrote of the original Peloton bike: "Peloton brings pedalling to the mainstream market: it's entertaining, and you get a hardcore workout in a limited window of time."

Now, if you're just starting on your spinning at home journey, you probably don't have the shoes yet. Fortunately, Amazon is on hand with some solid Cyber Monday discounts on Peloton's own brand shoes, which come with the correct cleats to fit. Not Shimano or Speedplay, but Look Delta. Bare that in mind.

4iiii Precision Pro Dual Sided Power Meter $791.99 starting at $412.99 at ProBikeKit Save $311.00

If you're after dual-sided readings and for cheaper than a set of power meter pedals, then you've hit the right deal. With a 24mm spindle, it'll be a straight swap for most Shimano road cranksets. You could also take the opportunity to experiment with different gearing sizes and crank arm lengths.

Garmin Rally RS200 Dual Sided SPD-SL Power Meter Pedals: $1,099.99 $920.49 at ProBikeKit Save $169.50

If you prefer the feel of Shimano's road cleats over anything else, you'll quickly find there aren't many power pedals on the market that cater for you. Fortunately, at least these from Garmin are on a hefty discount.

Garmin Rally RS200 Dual Sided SPD-SL Power Meter Pedals: $1,099.99 $920.49 at ProBikeKit Save $169.50

If you prefer the feel of Shimano's road cleats over anything else, you'll quickly find there aren't many power pedals on the market that cater for you. Fortunately, at least these from Garmin are on a hefty discount.

My colleague Anne-Marije Rook has just updated our page on Cyber Monday power meter deals, with big savings on offer on both sides of the Atlantic. The article proves that you do not have to spend big to start using power properly, with tech available under £200. You do not have to be a pro or even a particularly advanced cyclist to start measuring your watts, either, it is useful for us all.

If you're after the fitness gains that structured training can provide or simply trying to get the most out of your Zwift experience, now is a good time to snap up a deal — before the real supply chain squeezes as we get nearer Christmas.

The cheapest tend to be ones that simply replace the non-driveside arm of your current crankset. Alternatively, you can have the whole crankset replaced and benefit from the increased accuracy of having your left and right legs measured independently.

Ragley Trig Bike - Ultra Violet: was £1,749.99 , now £1,299.99 at Wiggle - and an extra 10% off!

If you're on the lookout for a new bike, a gravel bike might be the one - take your riding off-road and onto the trails for some fun. The versatile, lightweight and stylish frame is combined with a Shimano GRX 1x11-Speed groupset that offers a wide gear range for conquering steep climbs and all-day pedalling efficiency.

Berghaus Affine Insulated Jacket: was $126.05 , now $239.99 at Wiggle, save $113.84 - and an extra 10% off

If you want a jacket that will keep you warm outside and can be used off the bike as well as on it, this Berghaus number could do the job for you. It's lightweight, breathable but insulating, so it could be great for a day out on the trails.

For the eagle-eyed among you, you will have already spotted that Wiggle is offering a further 10% discount on some of its Black Friday/Cyber Monday offerings. This means that the Ragley Trig Bike above can now be bought for just £1,170, which might be the perfect deal if you are thinking of getting into gravel riding.

As well as this bike, and the jacket shown above, there are bib tights, long sleeve jerseys, shoes, helmets and shadows. If you had been holding out on buying anything this weekend so far, then now might be the right time to have a look, as these deals won't hang around for long. I'm sure things will be added to this through the week, too, but the sale expires on 1 December.

BMC Roadmachine X Two Disc: was £4,450 , now £3,115 Save £1,335 - with extra 10% off at Sigma Sports

This Roadmachine X shares much of its geometry with the regular Roadmachine, but has more clearance so that tyres up to 33mm wide can be fitted. This means it's basically an all-road offering, and is fitted with SRAM's 1x Rival/XPLR groupset.

BMC Teammachine SLR Four Disc: was £4,600 , now £3,220, Save £1,380 - now with extra 10% off at Sigma Sports!

The Teammachine SLR Four comes with SRAM's latest electronic groupset and a carbon frameset designed with speed and efficiency in mind. It is light, but stiff, and has clearance for up to 30mm tyres. This could be your dream bike.

While we have a whole host of Cyber Monday bike deals for you to peruse, I thought it was worth highlighting a couple of the BMC's that are discounted at Sigma Sports. This is because as well as the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals, an extra 10% can be taken off with the use of the code CYBER10.

Sadly, these bikes are just available in the UK and can't be shipped across the Atlantic, but there are lots more on offer in the States on our Cyber Monday hub.

While these bikes remain expensive, with over £1,000 off each of them, it might be time to buy that extra bike you have had your eye on for a while.

Hello everyone. Anne-Marije jumping in to say hi and join in on the fun. I've been awfully quiet on here while I've been plugging away behind the scenes, but popping up now to share some fun deals.

Starting off with a 20% discount on my favorite everyday biking products from Portland Design Works (PDW).

Portland Design Works has a real knack for making everyday bicycling more fun, and as someone who bikes for commuting and recreation alike, I’ve been a longtime user of PDW products.

The products tend to be practical, durable and definitely fun. Here are my everyday favorites:

Portland Design Works Zit Bit decorative frame bolts: was $15 now $12 or 20% off from Portland Design Works directly or via Performance Bike.

Zit Bitz Frame Bolts are decorative bolts to replace the standard frame bolts of any unused eyelets. They come in a variety of colors and emojis.

First up, remember those silly, cheap and completely unnecessary accessories called Zit Bits that I enjoy so much? Well, they're on sale AND come in all sorts of colors now!

For less than 15 bucks, they're the perfect stocking stuffer for your pedal-happy loved ones.

Portland Design Works Full Metal Fenders:

700 x 55mm: was $139.99, now $111.20 via Performance Bike

700 x 37mm: was $152.22, now $129 via Amazon US

650b x 55mm: was $139, now $111.20 via Portland Design Works

Fender season is here.

After 15 years of training in the rain, I'm done with the clip-on fenders. Despite their fast attachment, it seems that hey never truly stay put ride after ride and those rubbery straps always go missing in the sunny months. I'll happy take the weight penalty for a set of sturdy, full coverage metal fenders.

The PDW metal fenders aren't cheap but once attached, they give you and your ridding full protection against road spray and grime all season long. What's more: they do so rattle-free!

And like me, our reviewer Paul Grele was equally impressed with the easy setup (and fantastic instructions booklet), the durable material and sleek look. He even called them "the best fenders / mudguards that I've ever had the pleasure to fit or use."

And with the added bonus of a 20% discount, that's money well spent!

Portland Design Works Bodega Basket: was $125 now $100 via Performance Bike.

Every commuter bike needs a cargo solution, in my opinion, and Portland Design Works' Bodega basket is my go-to lightweight cargo carrying option.

While not big, the 25cm x 17.5cm x 11cm basket volume and 15-pound limit is enough for a quick run to the supermarket, carrying a six-pack and snacks, or for carrying my gym bag.

Things I like:

- The no-droop construction and handlebar attachment.

- The integrated side slot dedicated for carrying a U-Lock

- The light mount below the basket platform

Fizik Stabilita Carbon Shoes: was £375 , now £232, save £143 at Sigma Sports

These Fiziks are absolutely top shoes, allowing you to really put the power down while cycling. The carbon sole is incredibly stiff, perfect for speed, and the BOA dials mean you can make micro adjustments to the fit as you cycle along.

Fizik Stabilita Carbon Shoes: was $399.99 , now $299.95, save $100.04, at Mike's Bikes

If you prefer your bike shoes in white, then you're in luck in the USA. They are still cheaper at Sigma Sports over there - $50 so, in fact - but you can get this white pair from Mike's Bikes with 25% off. They come with Dynamic Arch Support 2.0, meaning they have an incredibly cushioned fit while still being great racing shoes.

When I got my pair of Fizik Stabilitas, I couldn't stop wearing them around my house, such was their comfort. Obviously, they are a bit impractical - and expensive - as slippers, and once I'd had enough sliding around and I'd put my cleats on them, I realised that they make better cycling shoes.

There might be more exciting and unique Cyber Monday bike deals to be had out there, but I saw this on Sigma Sports in the UK and Mike's Bikes in the US, and thought I just had to tell you about them.

I've done thousands of kilometres in the last couple of years, and many of them have been helpfully crushed by this pair of Fiziks. The Dynamic Arch Support 2.0 makes it feel like your floating on a cloud a lot of the time. I really don't mind them in grey, especially in the winter as it hides the mud, but you can get them in white too, if you so insist.

I'm actually off very soon, but I thought it was worth highlighting these shoes, as I've never seen them so cheap before, and I swear by them.

With the evening just now setting on America's west coast, a whole evening of Cyber Monday shopping is still ahead of us.

Of course, we couldn't call it a day without highlighting the Cyber Monday sale Specialized is having. The Californian manufacturer of all things bike-related has a sale on a wide range of their products including bikes, Roval wheels, tires, helmets, shoes and kit.

I waded through the collection, any size- or color-restrictions and the not-so-great deals to find you the best "worth it" sale items among them.

You can browse the article here, but here's a super-short listing of my personal favorites:

Roval Terra C Wheelset: was $1,000 , now $849.95 at Specialized.com.

Light yet bombproof carbon gravel wheels for under a grand? Yes please!

Women's Prime Alpha Jacket was $250 , now $187.95 at specialized.com

Now here's a jacket that surprised me when I first received it. The tan-brown color seemed a tad dated and the fuzzy liner, while super soft, looked at first glance a bit bulky. But then I wore it. It's so comfortable and warm! Perfect for cold, but dry, weather riding.

Women's Prime Bib Shorts, dark moss green and black: was $200, now $149.95 at specialized.com

I wore these a lot this season. They're silky soft yet have a decent amount of compression. Their triple-density chamois is great for an all-day out on the bike. They also sport a magnetic hook to detach the suspenders when nature calls.

Offered in men's and women's cuts and sizes!

Specialized Reflect Overshoe Socks: was $35 , now $17.45 at Specialized.com

I'm a fan of oversocks for fall and early spring riding when neoprene overshoes would be overkill yet socks alone won't quite keep the toes warm.
