Affiliate Disclosure
Short version: CyclistStyle participates in affiliate programs. When you click a link to a product and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and the content free.
What is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that lets a merchant know that a customer came from our website. When you use one of these links to purchase a product, we receive a small percentage of the sale as a commission.
These commissions are a primary way CyclistStyle generates revenue to fund our testing, writing, and site operations.
Our Affiliate Partnerships
We participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links.
- Other cycling retailers — We may partner with cycle-specific retailers and brands including Wiggle, Chain Reaction Cycles, REI, and others.
Our Editorial Commitment
Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Our recommendations are based on genuine testing, research, and expertise. We do not accept payment for positive reviews, and we only recommend products we believe in.
When a product earns our recommendation, we look for an affiliate program — not the other way around.
Price Transparency
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the article publication date. Prices may change, and we have no control over these changes. Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before purchasing.
