Two Wheeled Wanderer Terms & Disclosures
Advertising Policy
Occasionally Two Wheeled Wanderer partners with brands, companies, and tourism boards to share with you the latest gear or to highlight fun biking adventures and destinations. I may receive compensation to write about these things and this compensation can come in the form of money, free gear, tours, etc. It helps me continue to create interesting and valuable content on this site.
That being said, nothing comes before YOU. My readers mean everything to me and no amount of money is worth losing your trust.
When I review a product, whether I am paid or not, I provide you with my upfront and honest opinions.
Also, in my blog posts, you will often find affiliate links to products on Amazon, REI, and other retailers. If you purchase something using one of my links, I receive a small compensation. This doesn’t affect the price you pay and the modest earnings I make from affiliate links help me keep this blog running.
In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission passed new regulations that require bloggers to disclose whenever a blog post contains affiliate links or compensation was received. So please assume that any link to Amazon or another retailer on my site is an affiliate link.
If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to get in touch. I always appreciate hearing from my readers.
Thank you for supporting me and my site!

For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
