Black Friday is upon us, where did the year go? It's been another tough one for the Cycling industry, with brands throughout the year closing their doors or reporting big losses. Based on the live deals, I predict brands will go big this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I have already found deals on Adidas Cycling, Specialized and REI in the US and Halfords, Balfes Bikes and Ribble in the UK.
Myself and the rest of the Cycling Weekly deals hunters will be here throughout November, through Black Friday, Cyber Monday and into Christmas, bringing you all the best cycling deals and gift ideas this holiday period.
As with previous years, I expect to see discounts across the board but this time of year is a fantastic time to get a deal on cycling clothing, along with cycling tech, like Smartwatches.

Tips From Cycling Weekly to getting the best deals this Black Friday
- Shop using Gift Cards - Dig out old unused gift cards from birthdays or even last Christmas. Now is an ideal time to use them before they expire or if you don't have the cash.
- Shop Around - This is an obvious one, you can only find the best deals if you know what everyone is offering.
- Check the price - If you are shopping on Amazon this autumn check out camelcamelcamel, they track millions of Amazon prices. The tool will tell you the lowest price the item has been and if it was put up before the event. This way you know if it's a good deal or not.
-
Read the reviews and do your research - Reviews can be an easy way to spot a good deal. Firstly, make sure your check our reviews, and if we have tested that product, if not, here are our 8 ways to spot if you can trust reviews on retailers websites:
- Check to see recent reviews and see if anyone mentions big discounts or a lower RRP.
- If a product only has five-star reviews, it's likely not true.
- Lack of detail in reviews and vague praise could mean bots or the retailer posting fake reviews.
- Generic review titles like “Nice product” or simply “Awesome”. It's hard to judge this, but if the reviews are all in this style, it's worth questioning.
- Look for recurring poor grammar and spelling mistakes, this could mean reviews are all written by one person.
- Multiple reviews on a specific date (especially if there are long gaps between them).
- Check the brand's website, does the brand seem legitimate and do they make other things that might have been reviewed?
- Finally, check the seller's other items listings and reviews for patterns.
