SARIS BONES EX 3-BIKE TRUNK RACK
If you had to close your eyes and think of a trunk rack, chances are you’d picture a Saris Bones. This design is now celebrating a quarter century, a testament to how well this simple product works. To celebrate, Saris is offering two special versions, a red one and a blue one, and will donate $10 to World Bicycle Relief or Free Bikes 4 Kidz for each of these versions sold. The EX model fits 90 percent of vehicles, including those with spoilers—chances are it plays nice with your car too.

AMP HUMAN NEXT GEN PR LOTION
In a world of supplements and training products based on dubious claims, it’s nice to try a product backed by proven research. Sodium bicarbonate, a naturally occurring electrolyte, has been shown in studies to help endurance athletes push harder and recover quicker. Amp Human has been able to create a topical lotion that delivers sodium bicarbonate across the skin directly to muscles, cutting out of the equation the gastrointestinal-upsetting bicarb drink mixes of the past. If you’re on the fence, Amp Human has a 60-day, money-back guarantee.
