Amazon Prime Day Live: Top cycling-related savings as we find them

OK deal hunters, Will Jones here. I’m Cyclingnews’ Senior Tech Writer and, when there’s a sale event on like Amazon’s Big Deal Days, the driver of our live deals blog. As soon as we find some MAD BARGAINS I’ll drop them in here so you can find them before your friends and feel all smug.

I’ve built up a cache of goodies this morning over a delicious cup of instant coffee (don’t judge me), so I’ll feed these in now without delay…

If you’re of a nervous disposition like me then even leaving your bike leant up at a café while you sip an espresso and get a small slice of cake/chow down on a massive sandwich and a whole pot of tea can be a stressful undertaking.

Café locks – small, ultra-portable locks that secure your steed while it remains in sight – can be a real saviour for the café ride, or even for bikepackers who need to just dash into a shop for a resupply.

There are a couple of options on sale now in the UK. I use the Hiplok Z Lok Combo myself, but the Abus cable option is a little more flexible and versatile if you want to secure multiple bikes.

While our guide to the best cycling overshoes is great for road riding, it’s harder to cope off road as walking can often shred overshoes to bits. I prefer to go for a decent set of waterproof socks instead, and just dry my shoes out when I get home (more on this shortly…).

If you’re of a gravelly persuasion even in the winter then Endura’s venerable Humvee waterproof socks are 20% off in the UK. While they aren’t the absolute best, they’re really good for the price and my pair get rolled out every winter and just keep on putting up with abuse.

Speaking of Endura…

The demands of commuting in the rain are primarily 1) stay dry and 2) stay visible. I found Endura’s Humvee waterproof jacket at 20% off in the UK too, which ticks both boxes.

While I haven’t tested this jacket specifically, I have tested several others from Endura that use the same waterproof tech so I’m confident it’d hold up to the rigours of daily commuting if you’re staring down the barrel of a long winter of riding to work.

Here’s a deal that not only have I spent my own money on, but I’ve done it twice…

For £25 or so, or around $30 you can pick up a set of boot dryers, and your life…
