Amazon - everyone's favourite quaint little online shop - is having a spring sale, and in this article we're rounding up some of the best deals for cyclists that we've found. From fancy rearview taillights, to smartwatches, gels and a few things in between, these are our highlights from browsing the sales (and making sure the prices are the lowest on the web before recommending the deals).
We've said this before during Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and other online sales event throughout the year, but we're absolutely not suggesting buying things you don't need by doing this article, and often Amazon isn't the best place to buy cycling products. There's a lot of unusually cheap no-name kit that we couldn't recommend, and some cycling-specific retailers beat Amazon on price for essential items from well regarded brands. Some decent brands and products are sold through it though, so we'll stick to those and only point you to the deals if they're the lowest prices we can currently find on the web.
Any suggestions, stick 'em in the comments as always. Onto the deals...
Why go Garmin or Wahoo when the Cycplus GPS Computer is just 34 quid?

The first of our two entries from Cycplus is this full GPS computer, down to just £33.99 for Amazon's Spring Sale.
You're not getting all the bells and whistles here, but Cycplus claims it has 'advanced GPS positioning', and it will connect to your ANT+ devices. If you're just after recording the basics and don't need mapping or an alert through your bike computer every time you get a text, this is among the lowest-priced GPS computers we've ever seen from a road.cc-recommended brand - even less than Coospo computers, and the RRP of £39.99 is a bargain too.

Park Tool's chain cleaning has a whopping 36% saving, down to £27.49

It'll tell you that you're likely to be overtaken before you can see or hear it, and without having to take your eyes off the road. It's clever stuff at a great price.

It's still a helluva lot of dosh to spend on a fan, but trust us, there's no fan quite like this one for indoor cycling: Bluetooth control, ridiculously high settings and a 'targeted airflow pattern' make the Kickr Headwind the ultimate cooler-downer for your home training set-up. It's usually £229.99, so if you had your eye on one anyway then this is a good chance to make a significant saving.

Could you add alternative links to local online stores so we don't have to buy through Amazon? For example the Park Tool cleaning kit is close to same price at Fawkes Cycles. Far better to support a local store than Amazon.
Fawkes Cycles is only local if you live near Oldham. That's nearly 300 miles away from me. Also, any retailer that doesn't participate in an affiliate link referral programme isn't going to appear on one of these lists.
