In his quest for top quality cycling deals, the DealCatcher stumbled across two from Cycle Store today, and a particularly good one for those of you who are thinking about taking cycling more seriously from Tweeks Cycles.
The first deal of the day is Specialized's SpeedZone, which - over at Cycle Store - represents one of the most heavily discounted cycling computers we've ever seen; 80% is nothing to scoff at!
The second deal of the day also comes by way of Cycle Store - their Specialized S-Works Prevail Helmet's not only had a massive discount, it trumps the discount offered by the big players.
Finally, Tweeks Cycles enter the fray with their half price starter pack for cyclists looking to give themselves a mid-ride boost. Teaming up with road.cc-approved nutritionists High5, this bargain's perfect for anyone who's looking to do their first sportive or organised ride in the coming weeks.
Speaking of organised rides in the coming weeks. Are you in the South West? Fancy coming out for a free ride with a bunch of us road.cc-ers, some Cycle Surgery-ers, and a bunch of freebies?
Thought so. Sign up below:

Cycling computers are getting more advanced, smaller, and cheaper with every passing year.
Not usually this much cheaper though.
Specialized's SpeedZone measures your maximum speed, average speed, has an odometer trip meter, has auto-wake and auto-timer features - which mean you never have to press a button to measure your ride - and the whole ensemble fits neatly on your bars.

Specialized's Prevail S-Works Helmet is perfect if you're after a seriously light, well ventilated, comfortable helmet, with easy on-the-go adjustments.
And who isn't?
Our tech editor David Arthur reviewed the Prevail a few years back and loved it - even at full price.
It rolled away with an 8/10 rating, and we stand by that opinion.
Taking this price tag into consideration, we've got half a mind to assume that the helmet would have scored even higher on our rating ladder.

The final deal of the day: nutrition.
Those of you who are looking to head out on one of your first ever big rides are going to need a kick of energy half way through - believe us. You'll also need to avoid the encroaching tide of cramp that'll no doubt be hanging over your legs.
High5's energy gels are the perfect way of getting that energy kick. We should know, we've reviewed both of the High5 goodies you'll be getting in this bundle, and boy are they good.
The energy gels received a road.cc 8/10, and the comment from our reviewer David Else that the gels "taste good, slip down easily, and certainly deliver the energy you need on a long hard bike ride."
The High5 Zero Electrolyte tablets, on the other hand, performed even better. David Else again called the tablets an "excellent drink mix to help replace vital minerals and avoid cramp," and gave them a stunning 9/10.

I'm sure that sort of thing will come sooner or later. But presumably a key ingredient (and why you'd turn to a big brand like Fizik) is knowing...
"the cost to rebuild the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange is £317 million. The project is expected to be completed in 2025. "
I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.
I believe that straight forks that are used on carbon frames are more dangerous than the old steel forks because they are more rigid, the old steel...
Yes, sleep apnea produces more CO... I'm not aware of any doping effect but what do I know....
That's true enough. But doesn't address my point that the chainset you get as a replacement will not physically fit chainrings from the chain set...
In all fairness, it almost certainly NEVER happened…
1) I'd love to see anyone tell an EV driver that they shouldn't be on the road or move out of the way because they pay less VED....
Many of my fellow Tories sincerely hate bike schemes, and our friends sincerely hate these schemes, and road changes create enormous noise on...
