With just a couple of days left of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, it is time to start thinking about making those purchases before the deals end on Monday, 31st March. The Big Spring Sale has exceeded our expectations with some serious good deals. Like our headline deal from yesterday, a massive 53% of the Garmin Epix 2. Which is, coincidentally, our best overall smartwatch for cycling.
Two of our other headline deals from earlier in the week are still live: the 33% off deal on the Cycplus AS2 electric bike pump, which tempted me to buy one, and the very generous 32% off Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones, which are extremely popular among the Cycling Weekly team.
We will continue highlighting the best deals available in the Big Spring Sale throughout the weekend, but time is running out. We suspect this will be the last chance for Amazon sales until the next Prime Day, which usually occurs in July, so don't hesitate to grab a deal while you can.
Don't forget to shop the Big Spring Sale; you must be an Amazon Prime member.

Everything you need to know
How does Cycling Weekly select product?
We always try to feature products we have tested and rated highly. During big shopping events like Amazon Prime Days, Big Spring Sale, and Black Friday, we may feature deals on products we have yet to test. We use our judgment, expertise, and experience when considering great deals worth recommending. You can find out more about how we select and test products here.
Are there better deals elsewhere?
Over the last few years, we have also seen an increase in other bicycle retailers wanting a slice of the Amazon Prime Day pie, with reductions on sites stocking brands not found on Amazon. We will feature these, too, either through a specific deals page or on our hub pages.
When is the next Amazon Sale?
With the Big Spring Sale only having a couple of days left, Its likely Amazon will not run another sale until their Prime Days in July. Last summer's edition of Amazon Prime Days was on July 16th- 17th, 2024, with the second on October 8th/9th, 2024. This will be followed by Black Friday and Cyber Monday at the end of November 2024.
You can certainly find deals on Amazon all the time by using the filters available on the site to check for the best deals of the day or view all discounts.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
To shop on Prime Days, you must be an Amazon Prime member. This subscription can be paid monthly or yearly. Subscriptions start from £8.99/$14.99, or you can access Prime Day using the free 30-day trial subscription.
Prime access not only lets you shop Prime Day events but also allows you to watch a whole host of cycling documentaries on Amazon Prime video.
Tips From Cycling Weekly to getting the best deals on Amazon Prime Day
1. Shop using Amazon Gift Card
Have a rummage in the draw and dig out those gift cards from Christmas or your birthday. Amazon gift cards can be used on Prime Day.
2. Why not try other retailers?
Prime Day is of course an Amazon exclusive incentive to shop with them. In recent years we have seen deals and offers pop up on through other cycling and sports retailers. We also keep an eye on these and you can these deals here.
4. Check the price
If you are looking for the best cycling deals it is worth shopping around. There is a really useful tool I always use called camelcamelcamel, they track millions of prices on Amazon. What is most useful is it tells you the lowest price the item has been and if it was put up before the event. So, you always know if you are getting a deal.
5. Read the reviews carefully
Amazon reviews can be an easy way to spot sellers bumping their ratings, although Amazon has clamped down on this it is not a fall-proof system. Here are our 5 ways to spot them:
• A very high percentage of five-star reviews,
• Lack of detail in reviews and vague praise,
• Generic review titles like “Nice product” or simply “Awesome”,
• Poor grammar and spelling mistakes
• Multiple reviews on specific dates (especially if there are long gaps between them)
Don't forget you can always check back to our site to see if we have a full review of the product, along with checking the brand's website. Finally, check the seller's other items listings and reviews for patterns.
6. There is nothing I want on the Prime Day deals
Not to worry, Amazon will run Prime Days later in the year, along with their Black Friday & Cyber Monday events.
If that isn't regular enough for you, did you know Amazon runs deals EVERYDAY? You can find those Here.
