Prime Day is here. Actually it’s two days — October 13 and 14 — but that just means more time to get deals. And more time to feel guilty for supporting Amazon. There are huge deals on a wide range of stuff all across Amazon, but all the cycling stuff we’d received press releases for was exercise bikes and Fred nonsense. There was a big surprise in store though: Garmin’s (former) flagship bike computer has an enormous price reduction, and other Garmin devices are reduced too. Garmin Edge 1030 (US Deal) $599 $299 – Amazon US link (Edit: LOL, sold…

And it’s working. Look, we’re more 1985 than 1995, but we still appreciate the finer things. Radical pink and cyan. It’s just tasteful. The Terra Ergolace X2 90’s are… well we had to check that they weren’t hiking boots. They’re MTB shoes. MTB shoes that “combine 90’s attitude with 20’s tech.” That’s pretty cool. Gonna be real honest with you here though: we like the logo more than the shoes. It’s at the bottom of the page. And, uh, before you scroll down, remember that kick ass Outrun is way better than crybaby Vaporwave. Introducing the new TERRA ERGOLACE X2…

As a consequence people who dislike…
