ProBikeKit.com Affiliate

The reason I blog is two-fold; I enjoy writing and I enjoy bicycle racing. Therefore I like to write about bicycle racing and to be able to relay this information to anyone that is interested in either what I'm doing, bicycle racing, or both.

So in the continuing effort to provide relevant content to the main subject of my blog, as well as gain readers, I have decided to become an affiliate of one my favorite online resources for bicycle supplies, www.probikekit.com. If you have ever asked me a bicycle related question, I have probably given you the suggestion of ordering your supplies from www.probikekit.com The affiliate program is a way for me to help my readers by offering them a 5% discount on any purchase they make from www.probikekit.com. All you need to do is click through any of the www.probikekit.com links or banners within a blog post, or on the right hand sidebar of my blog, and then make an order. This program helps everyone, because in doing so, you the reader receive even cheaper prices for your cycling needs, www.probikekit.com receives more customers and I get a similar discount on my own gear I order, it's a win-win-win.

Some benefits of ordering online from www.ProBikeKit.com

• Free shipping to the US
• Large selection of cycling supplies
• Constant sales
• Email notification of when product is in stock.

I also wanted to quickly address the Local Bike Shop (LBS) versus online shopping topic with some of my opinions. I do not think that online retailers will ever replace the brick and mortar stores of your LBS, but they do offer a very good alternative. Many times the LBS are overpriced for certain gear, and I do believe that a cost conscious buyer will always seek out the best deal, whether that is online or at the LBS. More often than not, small supplies such as tires, tubes, cassettes, bar tape, etc. can be found cheaper online, especially if the shipping is free. But on the other hand, time is a luxury, and many times it's something that cyclists don't have a lot of. Especially when it's something critical that is preventing you from riding, you can't always wait around for days for something to be shipped out. So the LBS will still always be the best for quick supplies, repairs, new bike test rides and sales, advice and a great place to hang out with other like minded bicycle enthusiasts in your community.

So in summary here's what you do...

1. Click on the WWW.PROBIKEKIT.COM symbol on right, or the text-ad within a blog post
2. Purchase your gear with a 5% discount
3. Help me afford my gear with a similar discount

Thanks!
