SUMMARY
14% off the Wahoo TICKR Heart Rate Monitor Chest Strap, down to £34.39
If the thought of all the bargains is just too much, then maybe it’s a good idea to monitor your heart rate with this highly-rated chest strap from Wahoo.
This is the cheapest we can find it online right now, and if you prefer a traditional strap for measuring heart rate (and the accuracy that comes with it) the Tickr comes highly recommended. It connects to all your favourite devices and apps, tracks heart rate and calories and it weighs in at just 48g.
29% off Garmin Edge 130 Plus
Small, lightweight, easy to use and reliable… just some of the positive things Rachael had to say about the Edge 130 Plus when we had it for review. In short, it’ll do all the basics of what you want from a cycling computer — tell you where you’re going, how fast etc. — now at an even more affordable price.
Save on the Topeak Aero Wedge saddlebag (on Wiggle, Chain Reaction or Amazon)
Need more handy storage for tools and snacks? Fed up with your multi-tool smacking your back every time you get out the saddle? Topeak’s Aero Wedge Strap Mount Seat Pack has 19% off currently. Speaking from personal experience there’s more than enough room for tubes, tyre levers, multi-tool, keys, an emergency gel, plus more, leaving your jersey gloriously light and spares-free.
Grab one here for £13.99 from Amazon
We’ve since spotted that this bag is the same price at Wiggle, and the smaller one is also on sale too… naughty Amazon! Get one here from Wiggle for the same price, or the smaller version for £9.99 from Chain Reaction.
£130 off Sage the Bambino coffee machine
Some vital cycling kit next…
Because drinking coffee and riding a bicycle go hand in hand (admittedly, not at the same time). This stainless steel Sage the Bambino Espresso Machine with milk frother has £130 off, a saving of 40% and can be bought for £198.99 for the next 24 hours.
Lock in a great deal on the Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7 Bicycle U-Lock, down to just £36.99 with 51% off
It certainly pays to invest in a decent lock, and while Kryptonite’s Evolution mini will eventually succumb to a bandit with a huge angle grinder (like pretty much every other bike lock on the market) it’s far, far better than average and will make the common thief armed with less impressive tools look elsewhere.
You get a 13mm hardened MAX-Performance steel shackle, a new sliding dustcover and a patent-pending double deadbolt design.
29% off Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are wireless, bluetooth, noise cancelling earbuds making them a great choice for getting in the zone for those indoor turbo sessions.
They have a claimed battery life of up to six hours and have a quick-charge option providing up to two hours of battery life from a 20 minute charge.

More Garmin deals: Garmin HRM chest strap down to £44.99, 33% off Forerunner 55 watch, just £149.99 for the Garmin Edge Explore

Get a Garmin Edge Explore 2 now for £149.99
If you’re after an everyday GPS watch that will record your rides and runs, the Forerunner 55 does a lot for much less than the really high-end Garmin watches. You get plenty of bells and whistles too, like wrist-based heart rate, the Garmin Coach feature, activity tracking like steps, calories and sleep and a whole load more.
Take 33% off and get your Forerunner 55 for £119.99
You can also get 25% off the Garmin HRM chest strap, down to £44.99 with the Prime Day deal. This is Garmin’s premium chest heart rate strap that transmits heart rate data over Bluetooth Low Energy technology as well as ANT+.
It has a battery life of around 3.5 years (with average use of 1 hour per day) and a removable heart module for washing the strap. A heart rate monitor is a useful training aid for tracking your effort level, and the data can be seen on GPS devices as well as online training platforms such as Zwift.
Draper 10 piece Allen key set with rack: just £9.99 with 17% off
Ok, so they’re not Silca… but this set of 10 Draper allen keys will do for most of us and are a bit of a steal at under a tenner!
This Draper metric hex key set is made from chrome vanadium steel hardened with a blackened finish which is said to help prevent corrosion. The allen keys come with an enamelled steel stand and the T-handle design claims to maximise torque with a comfortable grip.
The sizes are 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 8, and 10mm.

The original Peloton spin bike is now down to £1,049, 22% off the RRP
The main thing preventing a lot of hardened indoor cyclists from exploring Peloton was the near two-grand price tag when it launched – but a few years (and some quite bad PR) later, you can now get the original Peloton bike for just over the £1,000 mark with this Prime Day deal, bringing it down to around the same price as an advanced smart trainer – and of course, this being a smart bike you don’t need to mount your own bike to it.
If you don’t fancy signing up to the Peloton subscription and doing the workouts with a host of shouty yet motivational virtual instructors, Peloton can connect to all your favourite apps via Bluetooth too.
Bits and bobs: 38% off Stan's No Tubes sealant, inner tubes for two quid each, 21% off Topeak toolbox
To round off this day of relentless online capitalism, here are some useful bits and bobs you might need to stock up on…

Get a bottle of Stans sealant from just £12.49
If you need to stock up on inner tubes and run shallow rims (and 25mm tyres ideally) then you can pick up five of these Vavert tubes for just £10.99 on Prime day. There’s not much more to say, they’re inner tubes and if you need to stock up then these are the cheapest 700c ones we can find on the web without buying in huge bulk!
Get five inner tubes for £10.99, 25% off the RRP
Ths nifty toolbox from Topeak is ideal for travelling, or those who tend to do light maintenance and hand over to the LBS for bigger jobs…
The set contains a holding clamp, quick release strap, 30 tools, secondary chain link fence, chain pin breaker, air release button, sand paper, a mini hammer, two chain pins and two links compartments, plus a self-tightening tool. Everything the half-job home bike mechanic could want, and possibly more!
Day 2: Fan-tastic deals for your pain cave with 52% off the PureMate gym fan and 29% off the Duux Whisper Flex smart fan
Afternoon bargain hunters! Let’s move on with some Prime Day deals on fans for your indoor training set-up, because the weather has been a bit topsy-turvy recently…
We’ll start with this deluxe option, that we have on good authority from a road.cc staffer that it’s virtually silent on the lower settings, so ideal for moving into the bedroom after your session. You can control it via a remote or an app, there are 26 levels and on full power it generates plenty of wind, so can be used as your primary cooling aid in your pain cave. It’s not cheap at £119.99, but that’s £50 less than usual with this Prime Day offer.
Get 29% off the Duux Whisper Flex Smart standing fan here
This one isn’t a Prime Day deal, but worth a mention because the Honeywell Turboforce is currently 20% off and comes recommended by numerous staffers as a secondary (or third, or fourth) fan. Operation Cooling, a 90 degree variable tilt, three speed settings and a wall mount feature make it versatile and ideal for adding extra cooling to your indoor training set-up.
Pick up the Honeywell Turboforce for £24
If you’re in the market for a new main fan to deliver a big blast of air in front of you while you sweat it out, this 14″ chrome fan at £42.99 and better than half price should do you proud. There are three speeds, claimed ‘high velocity cooling and the head is adjustable.
Take 52% off the PureMate 14″ Chrome Gym Floor Fan, just £42.99
Take 18% off the Garmin Varia RTL515 Rearview radar and tail light, now £139.99
We did spot this for cheaper at Leisure Lakes Cycles yesterday, but it’s now out of stock! If you missed out there then the Varia RTL515 is still priced lower than we’ve seen anywhere else at £139.99 with this Prime Day deal, down from £169.99.
The Garmin Varia RTL515 combines a radar and a rear light, providing awareness of vehicles approaching from behind up to 140 metres away. You may not think you need this but the Garmin will tell you that an object is going to overtake you before you can see or hear it, and without having to take your eyes off the road in front of you.
Our reviewer Iwein Dekoninck found that the light was bright and the radar worked well, both making him feel more safe on the road – you can check out the review here.
30% off Shokz OpenMove Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones
The open-ear design of these wireless headphones allows you to listen to music or podcasts as you ride without traffic noise being blocked out. The OpenMove is the brand’s accessible way of trying bone conduction headphones and reviewer Steve Williams found they’re light, effective and comfortable. Check out our review here.
The ergonomic wraparound design means they should stay put and work with helmets. The OpenMove also comes with a two-year warranty.
And the Pro version of Shokz' OpenMove Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones are also 30% off
If you’ve got a slightly bigger (savings-assisted) budget, check out Shokz’s Pro version of the OpenMove Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones we mentioned earlier, as they’ve also got 30% off.
Steve liked them when we reviewed them, “Light, comfortable and give great sound – wind noise interferes at higher speeds, but only because you can still hear!” That wind noise at 20mph+ not stopping them getting a strong 8/10 rating…

Save 32% (or 50% if yellow is your thing) on Sealskinz Waterproof All Weather Gloves
Yes it’s summer, but if you’re on a big adventure the weather can always turn (in the UK anyway) and it might be an idea to stock up for the more miserable months too.
These are 100% waterproof gloves that breathe well, and are also touchscreen compatible. They feature an anti-slip lining that’s designed to give you control while pretty much eliminating line pull-out. They come in black as shown, and also neon yellow which is even more of a bargain at around 50% off.
Save 50% on 1kg of Myprotein Impact Vanilla Whey Protein, now £19.99
We’ve checked that this wouldn’t be cheaper on the MyProtein website right now, and even after applying their discount this offer is still the one to beat if you’re a fan of MyProtein’s vanilla Impact Whey, as you’re not paying for delivery with Prime.
If you’re not familar, this all-round protein powder is recommended for improved recovery, fat loss and muscle gain, and one scoop contains 21g of whey protein.
Buy 1kg of Myprotein Impact Whey Protein for £19.99, down from £39.99
29% off GripGrab RaceThermo Waterproof Neoprene Overshoes
Overshoes are a great addition to keep your feet warm and dry when the weather gets worse, and they help to keep shiny white shoes clean too.
These GripGrab overshoes are described as rainproof and are a performance fit to go over road cycling shoes only. They also feature a zipperless design and reflective details.
52% off the Gore C3 jersey, now from just £33.93
With the price usually £69.99, this quality jersey from Gore is a bit of a steal at 34 quid in the black colourway (going up to just under £45 in other colours).
This is a light jersey that’s ideal for the warmer months with a tight race-style cut. A zip guard increases comfort and there are roomy pockets at the back.
Take 52% off the Gore C3 jersey, prices starting from £33.93
We can’t find prices this low on women’s Gore jerseys, but the women’s C3 is as low as £41.32 in the grey colourway.
Welcome to the road.cc Amazon Prime Day live blog
Just like that annual materialistic mayhem that is Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day has barged itself onto a spot on the calendar, as if the online retail goliath needed any more promotion.
We’re always a bit conflicted about doing these live blogs — and while we’ve certainly got reservations about the delivery miles, mindless materialism and impact on small businesses — as a cycling website we wouldn’t be doing our job if we weren’t telling you when there are great deals and discount prices available on kit worth having.
So, if you want to, make the most of the two days of sales to bag something you were after, or in need of anyway. We certainly won’t be walking away with a van’s worth of stuff we didn’t need, but this might just be the cheapest time of the year to get that bit of kit you’ve been after for a while. Or as another alternative, you could just pay the difference and support your local bike shop…
If you didn’t know, you have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these sweet sweet bargains (or sign up for a free trial and set a reminder in your phone to cancel it before the 30 days are up, we won’t tell Mr Bezos if you don’t). We’re also quite confident the products we’ve selected are genuinely priced lower than you’ll find through the rest of the year, but if you’ve spotted any of them cheaper elsewhere let us know in the comments.
* You probably guessed it but we have to tell you: we may earn affiliate commission from some of the links you click on this page. Enjoy!

@mitsky Just checking the figures and apparently the 2026 average cost is £58,000 per year per prisoner; worth noting that is only the direct cost, you then have to factor in ten years of lost tax income from the prisoner, ten years that the prisoner is making no contribution to society as a worker or as a consumer, plus the fact that if they were the primary breadwinner very likely the costs will include benefits for their family as well. None of which should be a reason for keeping violent recidivists out of prison of course, nor drug/drink drivers who kill, but it is a factor worth considering for lower-level offences.
@Surreyrider I ride in Surrey a fair bit and absolutely many do look like that but the point is they all *think* they're driving perfectly reasonably (as one discovers when remonstrating with someone who's skimmed one by 30cm, "I gave you masses of room") so deterrent penalties have little effect. That's why we need to strike at the root cause and actually train drivers properly and test them stringently (and more than once over the course of a potential 70+ years of driving, it's absolutely absurd that competence and knowledge in what for most people is the activity in their life that will run the biggest risk of killing people you never have to have your qualifications renewed).
@mitsky Imprisonment currently costs over £50k p.a. per prisoner and obviously that will rise over the course of a ten-year stretch with inflation. Regarding culpability and mitigating sentences etc, of course I'm not against condign punishment for drivers who kill (and cyclists on the tiny, tiny handful of occasions when this happens), including prison as appropriate; I was objecting to the ridiculous and oft-repeated demand of MM that drivers who kill cyclists must get ten years, "no excuses, no exceptions".
Hey, but their wool blend cycling adjacent t-shirts are/were fantastic.
@Surreyrider Still the boss. Ride one, you'll see why
@Smoggysteve "Most would happily ride on the roads and be treated with respect by drivers". But people aren't - and as far as I can see they won't be. Not until there is a lot less driving and it's slower around cyclists, and far more people driving have "skin in the game" eg. they sometimes cycle and their friends and family do also. That's what leads to the model - which is perhaps most advanced in NL - where cycling, walking and driving are all seen as separate normal transport modes. Their needs, vulnerabilities and any dangers to others are considered. And *that* leads to "mix / share when possible, separate when necessary". But "possible" is "where your 10-year old would be safe to cycle unsupervised" - so very few motor vehicles, going slow! And AFAICS everybody - even "existing cyclists" - is happy with the result. (I dunno about a few pro cyclists - but don't they tend to have training camps in different counties anyway?)
@quiff as an Edinburgh resident I can confidently say he's speaking without moving his lips in one sense: - while as I noted in a separate comment there *is* now some real separated cycle infra, all the examples i can think of have *at least as much space* for pedestrians. The rest of the "cycle infra" is essentially similar to the situation in the rest of the UK: eg. bus lanes*, cycle lanes and shared use paths (eg. "build" infra by sticking up a sign). Edinburgh is one of the places with a moderately extensive network of former railways which have been converted to "shared use" paths (completely motor traffic few). However though shared they are not narrow by UK standards. And this is all effectively a "free extra" for all non- motorised users, not like the "sign a cycle path" where pedestrians do lose space. I think this all comes from the "popular understanding" of cycling in which ultimately cyclists are the "other". They don't fit "motor vehicle" or "pedestrian" (including wheelchairs on the very rare occasions people think about that). Thus "cyclists are cheating" in multiple ways! They shouldn't get their own space as "there aren't enough" of them. And "they can just use the road / path". But being able to *choose* "on the road" or "on the footway" (shared use path) is clearly unfair - nobody else gets to do that! BUT of course even if they did pick just one of road OR pedestrian space it's still not fair anyway because they're "too slow" for the road (don't pay "road tax" etc...) and "far too fast" for pedestrians... * Though some existing cyclists may appreciate them when there are few buses, buses and bikes are a very poor mix for several reasons.
Whilst a shame for any employees, their bib shorts had the worst chamois pad I’d ever encountered, utter waste of my money. Even though they were Strava challenge discount purchases, still a waste of money.
Thanks, just going to have to suck it up. Got next week off and will take the easy, if expensive option...
@ktache Just go for the TNT Sports only package, £30.99 for a month. Alternatively have you considered experimenting with a VPN for a few pounds, allowing you to sign up for a free stream abroad, e.g. SBS Australia which streams the Tour live? If I didn't have a kind mate's login that's what I'd do!

Why should we support a company that fails to pay its workers a fair share, has poor employment practices and does everything it can to get out of paying its fair share of tax: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/01/amazon-uk-services-main-division-pay-no-corporation-tax-for-second-year-in-row-tax-credit-government-super-deduction-scheme
A shameful company which no one who believes in society should use.

Every pound spent on Amazon is a pound sent out of your local economy, a pound taken away from people in your area and put into Jeff Bezos pocket. Your buying decisions are important, make them with intent.
Also, from a cycling
Also, from a cycling perspective, Amazon’s policies for its delivery drivers of pavement, cycle lane and other dangerous parking is putting our lives at risk. Financially supporting an organisation which actively risks our lives just to save a few pounds a year is a self defeating short term view we should all be avoiding.
Or don’t
Or don’t
At least, make a stand and avoid any marketing which includes the word ‘Prime’.

Also re Topeak saddlebag, have a look at Carradice – it isn’t all cotton duck and bag loops.
Shokz (formally AfterShokz)
Shokz (formally AfterShokz) OpenMove & OpenRun headphones are 30% off during Prime Day. I find them really good for running & cycling. The “sweatproof” of the old TrekZ has never been a problem in the downpours I have run/cycled in.
(I don’t want to get involved in the support your local bike shop/big business is bad debate, just letting anyone else who can’t afford to pay full price, but still wants to get good quality product. and yes, the “good quality” is my experience, so others may have a different take on it)
