Scouring Amazon for the best Prime deals can be addictive. Which products do I like the look of? And how much are they discounted by? Read on for my pick of the best cycling bargains.
Jeff Bezos sure knows how to fill a warehouse with tempting goodies, and if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, there are some seriously good-value deals on offer.
There are plenty of non-cycling related bargains too, but let me unveil four carefully targeted products I’ve picked for you, my fellow cyclists.
Kärcher K2 Power Control Pressure Washer £149.99 £100.99 (save 33%)
If you’re a jet-washing believer, this Kärcher pressure washer could be a great upgrade for your garage or garden.
I’ve been using a Kärcher portable power washer for nearly five years and the quality, design and usability have been amazing, so a full-sized jet washer is on my wishlist.
The K2 from Kärcher is a starter pressure washer. It’s cheaper and lighter than the bigger Kärcher K4 but only offers a maximum pressure of 110 BAR instead of the blistering 130 BAR of its bigger sibling. On Prime Day, the K2 is reduced to just over £100.
It comes with three attachments; most importantly for cyclists, a dirt blaster and a Vario Power spray lance. You also get a T1 surface cleaner and 500ml of patio detergent, so you can keep the outside of your house clean as well as your bike.
It’s currently rated at 4.6 out of 5 stars in the customer reviews, which suggests it's up to the job.
Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Wireless Waterproof Speaker £149.95 £99.95 (save 33%)
I spend a lot of time in BikeRadar’s awesome bike cave working on all the bikes your favourite writers are testing.
When I’m working, I love having some ambient music on, perhaps a bit of chill hip-hop or, if I’m flagging slightly, some hair metal.
Headphones are great, but can be a little anti-social with people often wandering in for a chat. A portable speaker is much more sociable, and the fact it’s battery-powered means I can take it to different bike-repairing locations for tunes on the go.
The Bose SoundLink is even waterproof for peace of mind when using it near the bike wash.
Bose is renowned for high-quality audio and well-built products, and the SoundLink shouldn’t be any different. As a bonus, it even enables you to make and receive calls. A 4.8/5-star rating is pretty impressive, so this could be one to purchase.
Garmin HRM-Pro Plus £99.99 £73.99 (save 26%)
I don’t often use a GPS bike computer, but when I do I want to get as much functionality as possible.
A heart-rate strap is a great way to add another dimension to your riding, learning which training zone you’re in and monitoring your performance on the go.
They’re not cheap, but this Garmin HRM-Pro Plus chest strap should fit the bill nicely, with its ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s reduced from £99.99 to £73.99 for a Prime Day bargain.
I used one of these straps when I rode every trail at BikePark Wales in one day and it gave me some really accurate statistics.
It’s rated for use when swimming, so you can be confident even the most prolific sweating or monsoon-esque autumn deluge will be shrugged off.
Shokz OpenMove wireless headphones £79.95 £55 (save 31%)
I love riding in headphones and there’s nothing quite like a soundtrack to your shredding or a podcast to elevate your long rides.
However, I'm not a fan of earbuds because I worry about losing them. My earholes seem particularly reluctant to grip the buds, so these bone-conduction headphones with a neck band seem as though they could be just the job.
Cleverly, the bone-conduction technology works by vibrating the bones of your head instead of the air in front of your eardrums. Unlike regular wireless earphones, they sit in front of your ears, leaving them open and free.
They also weigh a scant 29g, so they should be as unobtrusive as possible!
The Shokz headphones are water-resistant to deal with the wet weather we’re going to be experiencing this autumn and earned a place on our list of the best headphones for cycling.
