First, Today is the final stage of the <strong>Tour of California<\/strong> bike race ~ from Beverly Hills to LA which is on NBC at noon (at least here in the Chicago area). It&#8217;s not le Tour de France, of course, but this is a major bike race with plenty of professional riders (some that have been or will be in the TDF) and it is a lot of fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>I also noticed that they ran a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.about-bicycles.com\/exercise-bike-reviews\/proform-tour-de-france.html\">Proform TDF Spin Bike<\/a> commercial a few times throughout the broadcast of yesterdays race and that Proform is offering Free Shipping (which is a good deal but not something that they did not have before) and I believe that they may have been offering Free Rush Shipping also (which would be nice but I was not able to confirm that just yet). I will check this out today and update this post if I can confirm this.<\/p>\n<p>The other important news is that this is the time of year when the <strong>REI Anniversary Sale<\/strong> is going on. If you familiar with REI then you know that their sales are actually legit and are really good on a lot of their products. This particular sale also applies to many of the <strong>Bikes on Sale at REI<\/strong> and you can get up to <em><strong>15% off<\/strong><\/em> on some of their bikes (and they actually carry a lot of great bikes online).<\/p>\n<p>See our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.about-bicycles.com\/Bike-Reviews\/bike-specials.html\">May Deals and Discounts<\/a> page for more of the details and the details on the <strong>Performance Bike Sale<\/strong> that is going on now too.<\/p>\n<p>This is the time of year that a lot of stores are doing their Memorial Day and Beginning of Summer Sales so if you&#8217;re looking for Bikes or Cycling Products (or actually any outdoor gear) then this is a good time to get what you need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just have a couple of updates that I thought were important to post today.
