Affiliate disclosure
ERideMatch distinguishes ordinary source links from any paid affiliate links that are active. The difference is disclosed where you click.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, ERideMatch may earn a commission. Commissions do not change requirement checks, match percentages, evidence labels, or the order of results.
How to recognize a paid link
A price-and-availability button is an affiliate link only when a sentence beside it says that ERideMatch may earn a commission. If you buy after using that link, ERideMatch may receive compensation at no additional cost to you. Buttons without that nearby notice are ordinary manufacturer or retailer links.
Where paid links may appear
Affiliate purchase links may appear on individual bike pages, on catalog cards for approved partners, and on the Discount codes page when a verified public code is available. Each paid purchase button has a nearby commission disclosure. Manufacturer product source links remain separate from paid purchase links.
What commissions cannot change
Compensation does not change requirement checks, match percentages, catalog evidence, comparison facts, conflicts, or recommendation order. A company cannot purchase a better questionnaire score.
Sponsored placements
Any paid placement or sponsorship will be labeled as advertising or sponsored content and kept separate from questionnaire rankings and editorial conclusions.
Our disclosure standard
ERideMatch aims to place commercial disclosures where people will see them before acting, rather than relying only on this page. You can read the FTC staff guidance on endorsements and affiliate relationships.
