Affiliate disclosure
How product links on Beyond the Classics work – and why they never influence what we recommend.
What an affiliate link is
Some product links in The Cycling Life may in future be affiliate links: if you buy after clicking one, the shop may pay us a small commission. The price you pay is the same.
How we label them
Every such link carries the visible label Affiliate link (placeholder) in this prototype (later simply “Affiliate link”) and is marked rel="sponsored nofollow" for search engines.
What never changes
- We only recommend things the founder has used, read or stayed in.
- Commission never decides whether something is included or in what order.
- Destination guides, climbs and the Atlas contain no paid placements.
Status in this prototype
Prototype No affiliate programme has been joined and no real affiliate IDs or links exist. Every affiliate link points to an internal placeholder page under /go/ that leads nowhere. [PLACEHOLDER] Final legal wording – to be reviewed before launch (Swiss UWG / EU consumer law)
