Black Friday is here again, and with it the annual dilemma: resist the urge to partake in this made-up festival of obscene consumerism, or... treat ourselves to a sweet deal on some shiny new kit?
We're staying neutral on this one. While you mull it over, here's a quick look at some cycling-related offers and discounts that happened to land in our inbox today.
It's not all "stuff", either - you'll find discounts on sportive entries too, along with a completely free way to give something back this weekend...
Free Sufferfest subscription from Wahoo
Wahoo will offer a year's free subscription to the Wahoo SUF Training App (aka The Sufferfest) for any customers who purchase one of their smart trainers over the Black Friday weekend.
Annual subscription to Sufferfest normally costs $129 (£95) so that's a decent saving - and you'll see a strong return in terms of fitness too.
Grab the offer at uk.wahoofitness.com.
Free headphones from AfterShokz
For one day only on Friday 27th November, Aftershokz will be offering customers who buy a pair of the award-winning Aeropex headphones (£149.95), another pair of headphones from the AfterShokz range completely free.
That doesn't include the AfterShokz OpenMove wireless headphones (£79.95) which Alex recently tested - you can peruse his review here:

...but the good news is that the Aeropex and the Air headphones are still 30% off until the 10th December.
