Affiliate Disclosure

At Cycling Trend, transparency matters. Some of the links on our website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help support the work that goes into researching, writing, testing, and maintaining the free cycling content we publish. Our recommendations are based on experience, research, and practical value, not on commission rates.

Amazon Associates Program

CyclingTrend.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate, CyclingTrend earns from qualifying purchases.

When you click an Amazon link on our website, such as a “Check Price on Amazon” button, and complete a qualifying purchase, Amazon may pay us a small commission. This does not affect the price you pay. Amazon, the Amazon logo, AmazonSupply, and the AmazonSupply logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links contain a tracking code that lets a retailer know you visited their store through Cycling Trend. If you make a qualifying purchase within the retailer’s tracking period, we may receive a commission.

Here’s what that means for you:

You never pay more. Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, not by you.
Some programmes cover additional purchases. For example, Amazon may pay a commission on other qualifying items purchased during the same shopping session, even if they were not linked from our website.
Using our links is always your choice. You can visit any retailer directly if you prefer. We appreciate your support either way.

Other Affiliate Partnerships

In addition to Amazon, Cycling Trend may participate in affiliate programmes with trusted cycling retailers, brands, and online marketplaces. These partnerships help support the website while allowing us to continue producing independent cycling content.

Whenever a new affiliate relationship is established or an existing one ends, this page will be updated to reflect those changes.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships never determine what we recommend.

Our editorial standards remain the same for every review, buying guide, and comparison article.

Products are selected because they offer value to cyclists.
Rankings are based on research, testing, and practical evaluation whenever possible.
Brands cannot pay for favourable reviews or higher rankings.
Receiving a commission never changes our opinion of a product.
If we receive a product for review from a manufacturer, we clearly disclose that within the article.

Reader trust is more valuable than any affiliate commission, and maintaining that trust guides every recommendation we publish.

Where You’ll See Affiliate Disclosures

Whenever an article contains affiliate links, we include a clear disclosure before the first affiliate link appears.

You may see a notice similar to this:

Cycling Trend is reader supported. If you purchase through links on this page, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. Learn more in our Affiliate Disclosure.

We believe disclosures should be easy to find and easy to understand.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running an independent cycling publication involves ongoing costs, including website hosting, research, product testing, photography, editing, and content updates.

Affiliate commissions help cover those costs without requiring subscriptions or paywalls. This allows us to keep our guides, reviews, and educational resources freely available to everyone.

Our goal is simple: provide honest, practical advice that helps cyclists make better decisions. If an affiliate partnership ever conflicted with that goal, reader trust would come first.
