The DealCatcher's back with more autumnal cycling deals, you know, because it's autumn now.
There's no use denying it, the weather's getting worse, so our wardrobes are beginning to rotate towards long sleeved jerseys, jackets, and leg warmers.
Our choices of bike are changing too. Out come the mudguards and disc brakes.
It might seem doomy and gloomy for a few of you, but plenty of us love riding in the autumn, and the DealCatcher's here to convert a few more of you too; all it takes is the right gear and you'll be loving the fresh mornings!
Today's DealCatcher features of few items that'll help you make the most out of the coming months.
Evans Cycles
As we state in our adventure bike buyer's guide - which you can read below - if you want to ride just about anywhere or on any surface, adventure bikes are for you.
British brand Genesis has been doing adventure bikes since before we used the word adventure bikes to describe them, so its bargain CdA adventure bike has decades of experience in the field distilled into every spoke and tube.
The CdA brings great CX features - like large clearances for mudguards, disc brakes, and a lightweight and adaptable frame - to a bike with a long, low, and comfortable wheelbase, to give the bike an endurance feel.
You'll feel like you've got the license to ride anywhere with one of these below you.

If you're already thinking about preparing yourself for the cold snap, we're not sure we could ever point you in the direction of a better value deal than this one.
Altura's Raceline Jacket is a great jacket. We know, we reviewed it, and our man Stu Kerton said it was well made but that it struggled to justify it's hefty £120 price tag.
That's no longer an issue. This incredible 70% discount brings this high quality jacket into the budjet jacket market where it blows the competition out of the water.
£35 is a complete bargain.
Chain Reaction Cycles
Finally, it's going to be pretty dark for your evening commutes in about a month's time when the clocks go back.

Good review. I can see it suiting the commuter and the cat eye build quality is super. I have a Raveman 700 about 5 year old and half this retail...
Plus a bonus point for being on a double yellow AND the pavement!
Whoever at the council thinks a bus lane will encourage active travel has clearly never ridden a bike in a bus lane......
Not defunct, still available to buy from the link above (albeit now a Mike Ashley emporium).
The Decathlon balance bike I bought for about €30 at the time nearly 15 years ago got our 3 off to a good start before going on to serve in...
Get them to do it on UK cycle infra and they'd really be slow (some is more suitable for cyclocross / trials afficionados)!...
Need to be careful making sweeping statements about a technology, it depends where those technologies are used - take Fairlight and Mason - both...
