Déjà vu? The cynical among you might say we've already had two Amazon Prime Days this year, and that having another two in October just three months later is yet another step in the quest to get you to hand your money over to the international retail giant. The cynical among you might also point out that Amazon Prime Days 3 and 4 are also conveniently spaced out in advance of next month's Black Friday consumerism-extravaganza, in the run up to Christmas and the New Year sales...
We say it before every one of these deals blogs and we'll say it again today — you don't have to buy anything, and you certainly don't have to buy from Amazon if you don't want to... but we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't point out that some of the deals on cycling kit, tech and accessories you'll see over the next 48 hours may well be the cheapest prices you can get.
So, if you need something, were planning on buying something anyway, you might find Amazon Prime Day offers you your best deal. Alternatively you could just support your local bike shop instead (we won't grass you up to Bezos)...
To get the deals you'll need an Amazon Prime account, which you can usually get on a month-long trial, or for 99p for a week if you've already used your free month up. Just set a reminder in your phone to cancel it before you get billed the full whack (again, we won't tell Big Jeff if you don't).
If you see any decent cycling-related deals, feel free to drop them in the comments after you've finished cursing Amazon and us for running this blog.
We also have to mention that road.cc may earn a small commission from some of the deals on this page if you click on anything and buy it. We doubt it will be much, but every little helps.

It was a statement Rendel, that they "probably" get revenue from promoting Amazon products. Which you have now pointed out, they do state at the top of the page.
That's it - end of story.
And if it has to do with me not the comment then take it up with road.cc or something. I'm within the t&c's - if it isn't you can speak to them, not be their policeman.
No need to get so worked up about it. Just calm down a touch, please. You're just making mountains out of molehills like usual. Probably because you're a writer I guess.
Pretty sure previously banned users coming back on again as someone else is not in most sites t&c's.
Also I am sure you must have broken one of these to come back on, especially the last one.
No you are not, you were previously banned from this website and so you are breaching the terms and conditions, at a minimum, about being misleading as well as, one assumes, using a false email address.
More lies and fake news.
Typical lefty distribution of falsehoods.
Go on then, just state for the record, as you never have, that you are not the poster who was banned from this site as thisismyusername. You are, definitely, the one who came back using the name Rendel Harriz and when you were stopped from doing that started using the name Ledner Sirrah (oh so clever!) so you can drop the crap about me being obsessed with you, silly boy.
Ironic coming from you, given that this phrase neatly sums up the last 13 years of government in the UK under the . . . right wing!
Still happy to be a Lefty, Loser, Snowflake, Woke, Amazon-refuser.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP! (you will miss it when it is gone)
Local bikes shops make FAR more out of servicing than any profit margins on sales
Mainly because margins have been squeezed by online retailers who are able to offer the same product at a lower price because they can afford to operate at net profit margins well under 5% which would be death to a small business.
This means costs for servicing have gone up to compensate and allow the shops to subsidise their sales side.
