Although the traditional Black Friday shopping weekend may be over for another year, Mike's Bikes sales continue and with its Get Carded reward scheme, there is the opportunity to double up on those discounts.
Mike's Bikes is one of North America's largest cycling retailers and its Get Carded promotion gives cash back on purchases made between now to the 24th of December, with rewards up to $1000 that can be spent on more bike stuff. The best bit is that both full-price and discounted sale items are included in qualifying purchases, giving you double savings.
So whether you're buying a bike or kitting yourself out for a winter of riding, those qualifying purchases will count towards your cashback which will be issued on an E-Rewards Card via email on 12/26/24, or on physical cards for in-store transactions and pickup orders. There's some fine print, gift card purchases aren't included and your rewards must be used by 2/28/2025 or they will be lost.
Deals are only good if the products themselves are actually worth buying in the first place, though. While there's genuinely a tonne of decent stuff on offer, the following products are what I'd be buying if I was on the correct side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Indeed, being a North American retailer, this is only for our readers stateside.
Regardless of that, the deals listed below are all items I've used myself, rate highly, and continue to use on a regular basis so you can be sure they're good.
Mike's Bikes sale: Our top picks
Garmin Tacx Neo 2T Smart: $1399.99 $899.95 Save 36% - The Garmin Tacx Neo 2T is a great turbo trainer that's perfect for exploring virtual worlds like Zwift or training sessions from apps like TrainerRoad. It is capable of 1% accuracy, 25% gradients, 2200w of resistance, and even the ability to replicate virtual road surfaces. This is the lowest price we have seen on the Tacx Neo 2T and the Get Carded sweetens the deal.
Shokz OpenRun Pro: $159.95 $124.77 Save 22% - I rarely ride without a pair of Shokz OpenRun Pro, these bone-conduction headphones are comfortable enough to wear all day and allow me to listen to music without shutting off the outside world. The sound quality can't match some of the best headphones for cycling but it's good enough and the awareness of my surroundings is perfect for those who want to listen to music while riding.
Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2: $399.99 $299.77
Save 25% - These are some of my favourite road bike shoes. They give a comfortable and supportive fit and have a stiff sole for driving power through the pedals. Both the White and Black versions are on sale and there are a load of sizes discounted.
Specialized RBX Adventure bib shorts $179.99 $99.77 Save 45% - I've tested the men's version of these and rate them as one of the best budget cargo bibs out there. The pockets are great, allowing you to stuff all manner of things away without even having to wear a jersey. Perfect for those summery gravel adventures.
