There’s No Place Like Home for Your Inner Cheapskate.
I write this review with a bit of hesitation, because I lovingly think of Bonktown as my small, little hometown. Thus, the more people I tell about it, the more people move in. But, I do want to share the love, so here goes.
If you have never been to Bonktown you’re in for a real treat. This online shopping site is well-designed, incredibly simple, and easy-to-use.
Bonktown sells one endurance related product at a time, until it either sells out our until the time limit passes – which is usually about 20 to 60 minutes. The best part is that all the items are deeply discounted. They usually sell for at least 50% off, but many times as high as 70%.
With as expensive as endurance athletics are, you need save money wherever you can – and Bonktown helps you do that in a big way. Some of the items they sell include:
- Cycling Kits – quality brands like Capo, Castelli, Hincapie, Loius Garneau
- Fully Built Bikes – For Roadies, Triathletes & even Hipsters
- Nutrition Products – Clif Shot Bloks, Accelerade
- Biking Shoes
- Helmets – Giro, LAS
- Sunglasses
Now you might be a bit hesitant to buy specialized athletic apparel online, but Bonktown has incredible, and I mean incredible, customer service. They also have a solid return policy – 30 days no questions asked. And their return process couldn’t be easier.
As you can see, I have ordered a lot of items over the years from Bonktown.
My orders have always shipped on time, with 100% accuracy, and they have always accepted my returns. That’s why I never hesitate to buy from Bonktown. In fact, Bonktown is easier to buy from then my local bike shop or sports store.
My only complaint with Bonktown is that the items sometimes sell out before I can buy them. So, to maximize your deal getting, install the desktop alerts for PC or Mac. Also, follow their social media because you sometimes get clues about what deals are coming up.
Be forewarned: you’re starting down the road of a dangerous and euphoric addiction; rivaling only your addiction to Triathlon, Cycling, and Running.
The Bottom Line ~
Bonktown is a simple, well-designed, and clever website that will save you lots of money on your favorite endurance products. They don’t sell the newest products right from Interbike, but what they do sell is top quality. You can’t lose with their solid customer service and 30-day, no questions asked, return policy. If it were up to me, Bonktown would be our nation’s capital.
