Christmas is almost here and if you still have gift shopping left to do, it’s time to pay hefty shipping charges!

But good news from Nashbar and Performance Bike - both are offering a free 2 day shipping upgrade (on orders over $75) but only if you order TODAY!

Use coupon code DEC2ND for Nashbar, and for Performance, just click here and you’ll get the discount without a coupon.

But that’s not all. I found a chance for you to win a free $50 gift card for just about any online cycling/outdoor gear retailer. (Take a look at that page for ideas.) The cool thing is, some of these gift cards can be emailed, meaning you can buy it right up until Christmas day and get the gift on time, as long as the recipient has an internet connection!

Ultra Rob is holding the contest over at his blog, so take a look real quick so you can enter. All you have to do is give him some advice on how best to build his new outdoor gear shop section of his website. Let him know what you’d like added or what needs some improvement.

If your suggestion is the best, you’ll get the gift card. (See his site for full details.)

Happy shopping!

Run Bargains

I wrote about Run Bargains a while back when I got my free running cap from them, and I check in on them every so often. If you’ve never heard of them, this is the time, because they have a sweet Thanksgiving deal on their already low prices.

For any order of $50 or more, you get $15 off and free shipping! That’s a deal!
