For those of us who aren’t heading out of\u00a0town for the holiday weekend, or even for those who\u00a0are and have their mobile devices handy to stay connected, there are plenty of Memorial Day Weekend Cycling Sales<\/strong> going on.<\/p>\n

I had originally planned to write a blog post about my trip to Johnson Health Tech last week (which I will followup on next week<\/em>). Then I started checking up on the prices for the outdoor and fitness bikes on this site (which I check on manually and regularly<\/em>) and I discovered some really good sales going on and wanted to pass that information on to you, in this blog post, while there is still some time left to take advantage of the sales. \"Tour<\/a><\/p>\n

I had known about the REI sale<\/strong> since I am a “card carrying” member of REI and had been receiving emails on it. When I finally looked into the details I discovered that they are offering 30% off<\/strong> <\/em>on many items, including cycling clothing and 15% off<\/strong> <\/em>on most of their bikes. They also have a deal where\u00a0REI members\u00a0can\u00a0also get 20% off<\/strong><\/em> any other item that is not on already sale. The details can get a little confusing but basically you can get a big discounts on the things that you get from REI right now and when REI has their sales that is usually the best time to get stuff there.<\/p>\n

Then I discovered that Performance Bike<\/strong><\/em> also has a Memorial Day Sale going on and giving up to 50% off<\/strong> <\/em>on many of their bikes and up to 70%<\/strong><\/em> off on cycling gear.<\/p>\n

I’ve included a little more info on the Outdoor Bike Sales<\/em> on our May – Cycling Deals and Discounts page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for the sales on Fitness Bikes, Horizon<\/strong> is giving customers a Free Fitness Mat<\/strong><\/em> and Free 1-Year extended Warranty, Lifecore Fitness<\/strong> is offering $75 off<\/strong><\/em> of all their exercise bikes and NordicTrack<\/strong> and Livestrong<\/strong> are also dropping their prices and\/or offering add-ons when you get fitness bikes from their websites.<\/p>\n

That’s really it for my update today except that I wanted to mention that I like to include at least 1 photo with my blog posts so I selected the photo above, from the Tour of Elk Grove race, since I thought it just captured the feel of getting out there (with new gear) and riding.<\/p>\n

OK, the Memorial Day Weekend is here and, like they used to say on SNL, I am outta here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
