It's that time of year again, the first federal holiday of the fall. Conveniently as ever, it comes just at the change over between summer kit and winter gear - excellent for picking up bargains on jerseys and shorts from the season just been, and even scooping up some gloves and long sleeve jerseys that didn't sell before the summer!

Ridely Kanzo Fast LTD: was $8,500.00, now $4,250.00 50% off 

Ridely Kanzo Fast LTD: was $8,500.00, now $4,250.00 50% off 

There's only three left and only in a size small, but if this does fit you, then it's well worth a consideration. The premium Belgian brand is known for its quality - plus being dressed in SRAM's 12-speed electronic gearing, shod with Vittoria tires and rolling on carbon hoops certainly helps.

Giro Aether Spherical: was $299.95, now $149.99 50% off

Giro Aether Spherical: was $299.95, now $149.99 50% off

One of Giro's premium helmets, this is the lightweight ventilation oriented option with a big emphasis on fit and comfort - as well as safety, coming with the MIPS Spherical protection system, which is exclusive to Giro.

Vittoria Corsa G2.0 Clincher Tire: was $84.99, now $45.00 44% off

Vittoria Corsa G2.0 Clincher Tire: was $84.99, now $45.00 44% off

Vittoria's Corsa Graphene 2.0 are amongst the best tires we've ridden at Cycling Weekly. Their particular combination of cornering grip and low rolling resistance makes them great for fast riding on technical roads. 

Garmin Tacx FLUX 2:  now $719.99 20% off

Garmin Tacx FLUX 2: was $900.00, now $719.99 20% off

There might well be bigger discounts than this later in the season and around Black Friday - but I wouldn't necessarily count on it. If you don't need an upgrade, it might be best to wait for later in the season. If you do need a new indoor trainer ahead of winter, then you can be satisfied that this is actually still a good deal.

Shimano IC501 Indoor Shoes: was $135.00, now $101.19 25% off

Shimano IC501 Indoor Shoes: was $135.00, now $101.19 25% off

Indoor cycling shoes can sound like optimization for optimization's sake - but remember, there is still nothing stopping you from using ordinary cycling shoes indoors. Still, if you would prefer higher levels of ventilation - courtesy of breathable mesh fabrics which you probably really wouldn't want to get muddy - then an investment does make sense.

Topeak Mini PT 30 Multi-Tool: was $58.50, now $43.79 25% off

Topeak Mini PT 30 Multi-Tool: was $58.50, now $43.79 25% off

I used this multitool when cycling across the mountains of central Wales across to the Irish Sea - and it really impressed. It has Allen keys from 2.5mm right up to 10mm, Torx heads including T10, T15, and T25. It has a chain took, spoke tools, disc brake spacer and a plug and knife for tubeless repairs - plus it's actually easy to use, unlike others which cram in so many different tools.

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 

Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.

But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
