4 surprising Amazon Prime Day buys I use daily as a cyclist

Amazon Prime Day can be a bit of a hit or miss, especially if you’re eyeing big-ticket bike gear. While electronics like headphones, bike computers and watches are seeing solid discounts, I found the deals on cycling wishlist items a little underwhelming. You’re best off looking elsewhere.

But being a cyclist isn’t just about time spent on two wheels—it’s a lifestyle. From my garage to my kitchen, you’ll find proof that cycling influences every corner of my day-to-day life.

Here are four Amazon finds I rely on daily as a cyclist, and they’re all discounted during the Prime Day sale.

Boon Lawn Bottle Drying Rack

This is one of my all-time favourite Amazon purchases, and it’s been a constant presence on my kitchen counter for at least eight years now.

While intended for baby bottles, it’s a must-have for cyclists and water bottle users of all kinds. The drying rack may sport an unusual look, but the plastic ‘grass’ plays a specific role. The sprigs grip items of all sizes and shapes while allowing for plenty of airflow to dry the items quickly. The lawn sits in a hard plastic, low-profile container, and it’s super easy to clean. It’s even dishwasher safe.

The lawn comes in green, white or grey colours and several sizes to fit your counter space.

Dry Guy

When I bought my first Dry Guy some 15 years ago, it truly transformed my winter cycling experience. As a year-round cyclist in the Pacific NorthWET, keeping my gear dry is a constant struggle. No matter how many shoe covers I’ve tried, soggy shoes still happen, and the Dry Guy Force Dry DX has become one of those household essentials I didn’t know I needed until I had it. Forget stuffing shoes with newspaper—this is the game-changer.

The Force Dry DX is designed to dry shoes, boots, gloves, or anything else that fits on its four extendable tubes, and it does so quickly without risking heat damage. Who among us hasn’t accidentally ruined a pair of shoes or gloves by leaving them too close to a scorching radiator?

The Dry Guy uses gentle, heated air to get the job done, and in just a couple of hours, your shoes and gloves are ready to go for the next ride. It’s not just a winter or wet weather tool either. You can toggle between warm and cool air so you can dry your sweaty shoes after a summer ride as well to keep the stink at bay.

Even if you’ve already become a convert yourself, this sale is a good time to obtain some units…
