V-Announcements: Velominati Partner Coupons & Discounts

WE’VE BEEN BUYSSE

We interrupt our usual programming to announce a new and exciting program between Velominati and our Partners: Velominati Partner Coupons & Discounts.

DeFeet has been quietly supporting Velominati almost since our inception, using Rule #5 and Rule #9 to promote their line of products which fall squarely into the Flandrian Best range of cycling kit. As of last Summer, we officially partnered up to offer prizes to some VSP events and to provide the V-Socks.

We’re proud to announce that we’re opening the throttle a bit more and are now offering discounts at the DeFeet online store for the Velominati Community. For those Community Members who have risen above that of a Level 4 Velominatus, we are offering a coupon worth 10% off any order. Furthermore, anyone who has purchased a pair of V-Socks will earn a coupon for 20% off their orders. Rule #49 applies; don’t share your coupon with non-Velominati and please don’t abuse these promotions. I’d also like to point out that this is not a Rule #58 violation; DeFeet sells their product direct to consumers via their website.

Keep your eye on this space as we’ll be looking to expand this program with our other partners where it makes sense. In order to access your coupons, log in to your account (or register if you don’t already have an account); you can access your coupons from either the Dashboard or your Profile page.

Vive La Vie Velominatus.

The founder of Velominati and curator of The Rules, Frank was born in the Dutch colonies of Minnesota. His boundless physical talents are carefully canceled out by his equally boundless enthusiasm for drinking. Coffee, beer, wine, if it’s in a container, he will enjoy it, a lot of it. He currently lives in Seattle. He loves riding in the rain and scheduling visits with the Man with the Hammer just to be reminded of the privilege it is to feel completely depleted. He holds down a technology job the description of which no-one really understands and his interests outside of Cycling and drinking are Cycling and drinking. As devoted aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Frank is co-author along with the other Keepers of the Cog of the popular book, The Rules, The Way of the Cycling Disciple and also writes a monthly column for the magazine, Cyclist. He is also currently working on the first follow-up to The Rules, tentatively entitled The Hardmen. Email him directly at rouleur@velominati.com.

@Chris

Likewise, I don't own any bib tights because bibs are expensive enough already without buying a pair you can't wear for 6 months out of the year because it's far too hot.

@ez participation is key!

@Chris maybe a fellow Velominati can help you out. ie have it shipped to them and they ship it to you. Might be worth it on a big enough order. I am more than willing to Help. Ask frank for my email addy If you want to give it a try.

@ez

How doth one rise about Level 4? (How is babby formed?)

Join the conversation and your level will increase with time. Basically, it runs a highly complex (i.e. error-prone) algorithm that thinks about how many posts you've made in recent months and how active you've been and escalates you through the ranks.

is "highly complex algorithm" another way of saying it counts how many posts you make?

V-socks ordered, BOOM, 20%-off DeFeet coupon ready and waiting. Another base layer for me.

Tres slick.

The idea of wearing extra layers during the summer her has always seemed like a bad idea. That's until I saw the UnD Lite. That looks very interesting. Does anyone know if they work?

Great initiative, positive recognition of the combined group as a whole.

@Chris

@frank Strong work. Absolutely love my DeFeet kit, wool arm and leg warmers, regular and wool shops.

Gutted that they don't ship outside the US from their on-line store, though. Want one of their summer base layers.

Well, thats a bit of a flaw, isn't it? I'll check with DeFeet and see what I can do, if anything.

Love my DeFeet Honey Badger socks... UnD Lite would be nice. I like a light layer under the bibs and its rarely that warm out here in NorCal
