Your Best Bike

Been hitting the mountain bike trails this summer? Road biking for miles? Or is your bike still sitting in your garage waiting for seasonal maintenance? The following sites may be all the inspiration you need to gear up for your next big ride, or invest in your first big-kid bike ever. Hey, biking can also be a great way to get to the office.


EMS.com, the web site for Eastern Mountain Sports, carries a nice range of mountain bikes and road bikes, some of which are currently on sale. Find inspiration in cycling books and DVDs, plus fuel for your ride in the form of energy bars and gels, and maybe a nice new water bottle or hydration pack. You can also pick up bike parts, accessories and more on this site, in addition to a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate.


Don't miss the "Massive K2 Closeout" sale at PerformanceBike.com, where you can save 20-50% on K2 products, plus up to 60% on other items (from shoes to shorts to entire bikes) in the Summer Clearance sale. That's not even mentioning your 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate. Perhaps my favorite part of this site is the selection of helpful how-to articles, buyer's guies and stories from Bicycling magazine.


And don't forget to protect your investment in your bike. Register it on NationalBikeRegistry.com and get a bike sticker and registration in the system that will ensure authorities can get it back to you if it's ever stolen. You'll get a 15% ConsumerClub.com rebate for registering too.
