BikeRadar Bargains: May Bank Holidays bonanza
We've teamed up with Tweeks Cycles to bring you some spankingly good deals
Published:
It’s not just the weekend, it’s a Bank Holiday weekend! Three whole days to get out on your bike. That’s time for a three-day bothy biking adventure, or how about a long-distance bike ride? It’s also the time when shops traditionally have sales blowouts, and the cycling world is no different.
One British retailer that has some rather spiffing bike bargains is Tweeks Cycles, and this week we’ve combed its site to bring you the very best deals on offer. From groupsets to helmets and from jackets to pedals, both you and your bike can get kitted out from top to toe.
Of course, we’d also suggest you have a look out for other offers as the chances are that rival shops will be offering some great bargains and discounts too. Happy shopping!

Bell Super 2R MIPS mountain bike helmet £189.99 £134.99
“Easy-to-use removable chin guard boosts protection over a regular trail lid – and it doesn’t look too quirky!” That’s the BikeRadar verdict on the Bell Super 2R, a helmet that’s designed for enduro riders with a removable chin guard that transforms it from a trail helmet with a low back and extensive coverage to a light full-face helmet. This model also includes MIPS, which stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, and adds another layer of protection for your bonce. Let’s face it, more protection can only be a good thing.
The range includes a women’s specific Bell Joy Ride version.

As we might have mentioned with regard to overshoes, chances are that bank holiday weekend equals rain, so if you haven’t got a good waterproof jacket, we suggest now’s the time to get one. After all, if you ride in the UK it’s certainly going to get used. Lots.
The Stealth II is a water resistant soft-shell with side and pit vents to help keep you cool, a good idea in the changeable spring weather. It has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability of 5,000g with subtle reflective detailing all around.
