Black Friday deals continue over the weekend and beyond and, in our eternal bid to find the best Black Friday bike deals, the Cyclingnews deal hunters are still running at full power to find the best discounts.

Choosing the right cycling shoes can transform your riding experience. A really good pair often offers a stiffer pedalling platform, more comfort, lower weight, better aesthetics, or some combination of all of the above over more basic pairs, but normally at a much greater cost.
