14 Places To Buy Discount Cycling Gear & Bikes

Looking for some discount cycling gear? Like most sports and hobbies, biking can get expensive. When you’re constantly in need of new chamois, gloves, socks, and just one more tool for your home bike tool kit, it can all add up fast.

Thankfully, there are a handful of places to buy affordable cycling gear so you can spend more time out on the trails and backroads and less time shopping around.

From Patagonia’s Worn Wear collection to Darn Tough’s Sock’s lifetime guarantee, these places will save you money and maybe even do some good for the planet!

Where to buy NEW Discount Cycling gear

1. Steep & Cheap

Steep & Cheap is the outlet store for online retail giant Backcountry.com and they typically have tons of great discount cycling gear to choose from including apparel, accessories, shoes, helmets, hydration packs, and more.

I love to browse Steep & Cheap in the off-season since many retailers are trying to get rid of old inventory and you can find some really great scores.

You can also sign up for price alerts for specific products to get notified if prices drop (which they often do).

2. Competitive Cyclist’s Sales Page

Competitive Cyclist is an online gear store for everything cycling. It is a sister company to Backcountry.com, but only focused on bike-related products.

Competitive Cyclist has a dedicated sales section where you can find a ton of great deals including full discounted bikes, cycling apparel, bike components, and more.

Competitive Cyclist is one of my go-to places for bike gear!

3. Darn Tough Socks

Darn Tough Socks aren’t actually discounted (unless you buy them on sale), but the company has an amazing guarantee: a lifetime warranty on every pair of Darn Tough Socks.

That means if you get a hole or tear in your sock, you can simply send it back and get a FREE pair shipped right back to you. How amazing is that! You don’t even need a receipt. One pair of socks can literally last you a lifetime.

Their crew socks are a great length for any biking adventure and all Darn Tough socks are breathable and moisture-wicking.

4. Jenson USA’s Sales Page

Jenson is based out of Southern California and they are one of the biggest online retailers for bike enthusiasts.

They’re geared mainly toward mountain bikers, but you can find road bikes and other cycling gear as well.

Check out Jenson’s sales page for a good selection of discounted bike gear.

Jenson also has super fast shipping and free shipping for orders over $50.

5. Mike’s Bikes Sales Page

Mike’s Bikes is a chain of bike stores in California, but they also have a large online presence. Their Clearance and Sales page typically has a lot of great deals, especially toward the end of the biking season.

I’ve bought several items from Mike’s Bikes (including a full mountain bike) and their customer service and shipping have been great.

6. REI Outlet

Most of us know that REI is a great place to shop for outdoor gear, but did you know that REI also has an Outlet section on their website where you can score up to 70% off?

The REI Outlet is home to awesome Deals of the Day as well as a variety of discounted gear, including a number of cycling scores.

7. Rogue Panda Seconds Top Tube Bags

Looking for a top tube bag to carry your snacks, phone, tools, or other biking necessities?

Rogue Panda – maker of my favorite bikepacking bags – often has ‘seconds’ available for a discounted price.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with these bags, they may just have been made by mistake, the colors may have come out wrong, or they could be missing a logo.

Where to buy USED Bike gear

8. Patagonia Worn Wear

Patagonia is one of my favorite outdoor gear brands because they have been so outspoken against climate change and have done a lot to make their products more sustainable, ethical, and eco-friendly.

One of their initiatives is the Patagonia Worn Wear program where you can purchase used, but still fully functional, gear and apparel.

Specific cycling gear may be a little hard to find, but you might be able to nab some base layers or a windproof jacket.

If you have a piece of Patagonia gear that needs to be repaired, they will help you with that as well. Just send your gear in or visit your local Patagonia store and they’ll help you get it back to good.

9. REI Used Gear

Have you checked out the Good & Used Gear section on REI.com? You can find some great deals! Shop top brands to find discounted cycling gear like jerseys, cycling shoes, and even wheelsets.

If you have your own used bike gear that needs a new home, you can trade it in for an REI gift certificate.

You do need to be an REI Member to trade in gear.

10. The Pro’s Closet

The Pro’s Closet is a small shop, but growing online store, in Louisville, Colorado that basically flips used bikes by servicing and refurbishing them before listing them on its site.

They take in all types of bikes from mountain bikes to road bikes, gravel bikes, and e-bikes. You can find some amazing deals on The Pro’s Closet or even trade in your bike for some cash.

If you’re not looking for a full bike, The Pro’s Closet also sells used wheelsets and frames.

Their certified pre-owned program guarantees a professional inspection, service, and tune-up on all used bikes and if you’re not satisfied, they have a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy.

11. PinkBike

PinkBike Buy/Sell is the Craigslist for bikes. You can find a huge range of mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes, e-bikes, and more from all over the world.

It’s mostly owners listing their own bikes, but you might also find bike shops posting extra stock. I’ve bought a few bikes and components off of PinkBike and have had good experiences.

There’s no guarantee when shopping on PinkBike, though, and they take no responsibility for transactions so do your research, ask a lot of questions, and protect yourself against fraud when sending money.

12. GearTrade

GearTrade is an online outdoor gear consignment store that sells pre-owned stuff including used cycling and biking gear.

They don’t have a huge inventory, but it’s worth a check if you are looking for something specific like biking shoes or even a bike rack.

If you want to sell your bike gear, you can do that as well by creating an account and uploading some photos and a description.

13. Bicycle Blue Book

I haven’t personally used Bicycle Blue Book, but it looks like a great resource for buying and selling used bikes.

Just from a quick browse through the listings, it looks like there are a lot of great deals and Bicycle Blue Book (like Kelly Blue Book) lets you know whether you’re getting a fair price based on model, year, and condition.

You can also use the comprehensive filter to really dial in the best bike options for you.

Like PinkBike, though, Bicycle Blue Book doesn’t take any responsibility for transactions, so take precautions when sending money or meeting in person.

14. Facebook Marketplace & Groups

Lastly, Facebook Marketplace is a good place to look for used or discount cycling gear. Facebook has made it pretty easy and safe to buy and sell through their platform and there are definitely a lot of listings to sort through. I’ve sold a pair of cycling shoes on FB Marketplace and it was super convenient.

There are also tons of biking and cycling groups on Facebook and many of them allow buy/sell listings. Check to see if there’s a mountain bike or cycling group in your area. The Buy, Sell, Trade (Bike Parts) group is also quite active.
