The fine print (with fewer flats)
Terms of Service
These terms cover how Broke Cyclists works, what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you when you browse, buy, or use our content.
Quick summary
By using this site, you agree to these Terms. We share gear recommendations and sell select products through our shop. Some links may be affiliate links—meaning we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We aim to be helpful and accurate, but you’re responsible for how you use information from Broke Cyclists.
Using the site
Content, safety, and common sense
Our guides and reviews are for general information. Cycling has real risks—traffic, weather, equipment failure—so always ride within your limits, follow local laws, and use properly fitted safety gear. If something feels sketchy, don’t do it (even if it’s on sale).
Terms details
A few key policies in plain language. (Not legal advice.)
Eligibility & accounts
You must be able to form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction to make purchases. If you create an account, keep your login details secure and let us know if you suspect unauthorized access.
Orders, pricing & availability
Prices and availability can change. We may correct errors (like typos or incorrect pricing) and may cancel or refuse orders where permitted by law. Order confirmation doesn’t guarantee acceptance until payment is processed and the order is fulfilled.
Shipping, delivery & returns
Shipping timelines are estimates and can vary by carrier and location. Returns and refunds (if offered) follow the policy shown at checkout or on the relevant product page. If something arrives damaged, contact us promptly so we can help.
Affiliate links & sponsored content
Some links may be affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission—without changing your price. Sponsored placements (if any) will be labeled. Our goal is still safety-first, value-first recommendations.
Intellectual property
Site content (text, images, logos, and design) is owned by Broke Cyclists or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may share links and quote short excerpts with attribution, but don’t copy, republish, or sell our content without permission.
Prohibited use
Don’t misuse the site: no scraping, spamming, attempting to break security, or using our content in a way that’s unlawful or harmful. We may restrict access if we believe these Terms are violated.
Legal stuff (still readable)
Disclaimers & limitation of liability
We work hard to keep information accurate and up to date, but we can’t guarantee the site will always be error-free, uninterrupted, or perfectly complete.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Broke Cyclists disclaims warranties of any kind (express or implied) regarding the site and any products or services offered through it. Your use of the site is at your own risk.
Ride safe, double-check your setup, and treat online info like a starting point—not a substitute for good judgment.
Broke Cyclists
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Broke Cyclists and its owners, affiliates, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site or products. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.
