Alright, alright, alright, we're sorry for the pun-heavy headline. But Easter only comes around once a year, and if we didn't use up all of our egg-related puns this long weekend, when could we?
If we promise that the majority of the puns are now in the past, do you think we could interest you in some fantastic Easter weekend cycling deals directly from Boardman Bikes, Evans Cycles, and Cycle Surgery?
If you've found it in your hearts to forgive us for such criminally awful comedic activity, we've got a treat for you. Boardman are flogging their ranges of 2014/2015 bikes at a 30% discount, as well as their frames for a 40% discount, directly from their website.
On top of that, Evans have got an extra 20% off their range of already discounted cycling clothes, including two road.cc approved jerseys from Hoy Vulpine.
Finally, our friends over at Cycle Surgery have got a fantastic deal on a set of Lezyne lights - they're 43% off, and we gave the rear light an 8/10 when it came our way to be reviewed.
Boardman Bikes
Did you know that you can get your hands on Boardman's massive range of road bikes - road bikes that we have consistently loved here at road.cc - directly from the men behind the bikes?
Well, you can. Boardman's Factory Outlet functionality on their website gives you the chance to buy directly from the manufacturers themselves, saving on all sorts of added costs that often get passed onto the customer when they buy from other shops.
Their range is substantial and cheap too, especially their non-current selection of bikes from last year and the year before.
The Air 9.2 which you can see pictured above is one of those bikes - this one's last year's model that's been replaced by the Elite Air 9.2 2016 model which we reviewed in January and gave a 9/10 to.
The carbon frame is a product of Boardman's state of the art AiR Aerodynamic Racing technology, which includes internal cable routing to keep the airflow consistent and the looks sharp.
The bike runs Shimano's 11-speed Ultegra groupset, Mavic Cosmic Elite rims, and Continental Ultra Racce tyres, so you'll be good to go right out of the box.
Check out this link for even more of Boardman's range of Factory Outlet bikes, we'll be checking back in over the next few days for even more bargains.
Evans Cycles
50% off Hoy Vulpine's Akita City Jersey
Women's Jersey | Men's Jersey
WAS £54.99 | NOW £27.49
From one British champion to another.
Sir Chris Hoy has been branching out into bike manufacturing over the last few years, but we're focusing on his collaboration with British clothing brand Vulpine today.
The brand looks to give everyone who rides bikes something classy to wear - from the urbanite who flies round busy city streets in short sharp bursts, to the audaxer who's planning to spend half the day in the saddle pottering through country lanes.
This jersey in particular is aimed at the former.
Currently on sale in both the men and women's cut, the Akita City jersey - as you'll discover if you read our glowing review below - is equally at home on the bike as it is off of it.
It's made from super-soft and stsretchy brushed jersey fabric, it's got anti-bacterial properties to help battle odours, and the flatlock stitching avoids itchy patches and keeps the stylish fabric consistently comfortable.
Cycle Surgery
Finally, Cycle Surgery's selection of bike lights is vast. It's almost overwhelming at times, but let us assure you, you'll struggle to find a better deal on a light set better than this over there.
Lezyne have some serious history here. The two lights that are featured in this light set have both come in for test at road.cc and both of them have performed extraordinarily well.
Check out both of the reviews below if you're still umm-ing and ahh-ing.

200 people out of a close by population of how many? Just build it and stop being a wuss
To paraphrase Field of Dreams, "Build it right and they will come: and use it!"
And a Happy Christmas to you, road.cc staff!

I love how wannabe racer reviewers talk about fork flex under braking like their tyres are made of glue. I find traction gives long before fork flex.
They don't make them like they used to

Fair comments. I'll put my hands up and say I got the wrong end of the stick with this one. ¡Feliz navidad! Here's a pic for the season of goodwill.
