In his quest for top quality cycling deals, the DealCatcher stumbled across two from Cycle Store today, and a particularly good one for those of you who are thinking about taking cycling more seriously from Tweeks Cycles.
The first deal of the day is Specialized's SpeedZone, which - over at Cycle Store - represents one of the most heavily discounted cycling computers we've ever seen; 80% is nothing to scoff at!
The second deal of the day also comes by way of Cycle Store - their Specialized S-Works Prevail Helmet's not only had a massive discount, it trumps the discount offered by the big players.
Finally, Tweeks Cycles enter the fray with their half price starter pack for cyclists looking to give themselves a mid-ride boost. Teaming up with road.cc-approved nutritionists High5, this bargain's perfect for anyone who's looking to do their first sportive or organised ride in the coming weeks.
Speaking of organised rides in the coming weeks. Are you in the South West? Fancy coming out for a free ride with a bunch of us road.cc-ers, some Cycle Surgery-ers, and a bunch of freebies?
Thought so. Sign up below:

Cycling computers are getting more advanced, smaller, and cheaper with every passing year.
Not usually this much cheaper though.
Specialized's SpeedZone measures your maximum speed, average speed, has an odometer trip meter, has auto-wake and auto-timer features - which mean you never have to press a button to measure your ride - and the whole ensemble fits neatly on your bars.

Specialized's Prevail S-Works Helmet is perfect if you're after a seriously light, well ventilated, comfortable helmet, with easy on-the-go adjustments.
And who isn't?
Our tech editor David Arthur reviewed the Prevail a few years back and loved it - even at full price.
It rolled away with an 8/10 rating, and we stand by that opinion.
Taking this price tag into consideration, we've got half a mind to assume that the helmet would have scored even higher on our rating ladder.

The final deal of the day: nutrition.
Those of you who are looking to head out on one of your first ever big rides are going to need a kick of energy half way through - believe us. You'll also need to avoid the encroaching tide of cramp that'll no doubt be hanging over your legs.
High5's energy gels are the perfect way of getting that energy kick. We should know, we've reviewed both of the High5 goodies you'll be getting in this bundle, and boy are they good.
The energy gels received a road.cc 8/10, and the comment from our reviewer David Else that the gels "taste good, slip down easily, and certainly deliver the energy you need on a long hard bike ride."
The High5 Zero Electrolyte tablets, on the other hand, performed even better. David Else again called the tablets an "excellent drink mix to help replace vital minerals and avoid cramp," and gave them a stunning 9/10.
Pre LED lights were a total PIA! That's for sure.
No mention of Felt. They pretty much pioneered the aero bike along with Cervelo. The AR series have always been some of the most aero frames. ...
Calling HoarseMann!...
There are plenty of 'recognised' brands that's are no more than Chinese open mould frames with a name on the side. Planet X comes to mind. ...
This is a crazily ambitious project. They need a simple building such as a disused or empty distribution centre on a short to medium length lease ...
Sadly true. Motonormativity is entrenched. It doesn't help that public transport has been privatised and effectively run into the ground, most...
Rest in peace, you very lovely lady.
I'm afraid we'll see a fair bit of anti-cyclist rhetoric over the next 12 months. Local and regional elections are due this year and next year....
As a community, we should probably abandon the category 'e-bike' because it has no legal definition and is too broad....
That's strange - usually a vociferous backlash means that quite a few people are taking offense to it and that you should think about why that is....
