Memorial Day is a national holiday in the USA which was established in 1868 to honour those who have died in American wars. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated during the American Civil War, but its name was changed to Memorial Day following World War I. It is held each year, on the last Monday in May, meaning that this year, it'll be on the 29th.
In a curious but widely accepted method of marking the date, retailers across the country turn the weekend leading up to Memorial Day into a weekend-long sale event, providing an opportunity to find discounts at a wide range of stores. This extends to cycling, so it presents the chance to pick up a new bike, some cycling clothing, components or accessories and save money at an ideal time with summer around the corner.
But where exactly can the best Memorial Day bike sales be found? That's where we come in. Sure you could head to Google and search for Memorial Day bike sales, and that'll give you some of the bigger retailers, but you'll probably miss out on smaller niche brands whose online presence isn't as strong as the quality of their Memorial Day bike deals. Google's algorithm is good, but our hand-picked selection of the best Memorial Day sales below ignores things like domain authority and keyword position in favour of two simple criteria:
1. Are the deals good?
2. Will they be of interest to our readers?
