I'm off to Lidl in a but to try and get those panniers.

BTW the plastic presta head on the pump will fail within a year

Pump, lights and gloves for me. All look pretty good but going to test them latter. Front light is bloomin bright for that price level but the rear is a bit average and only has on/off modes.

Oh also got the Bib 'cycling suit' which is a bit baggy in places but will be perfect on cold winter days.

And some choc biscuits! YUM!

Not quite as cheap as the Lidl pump, but for just £4 more, the Revolution Track Pump from Edinburgh Bike Co-Op is currently on sale for £9.99.

Whilst there I also nipped into aldi which is close by, picked up an excellent 'running' jacket for four pound in the clearance section. Same as a cycling jacket but without the back pockets

just been myself was etching to go since morning but had work...i got a jersey which seems alright i looked at the lights they a bit 'chunky' and the gloves seemed to big as well i prefer the smaller 'proper' gloves - i rode with gym gloves last time...

they have this two in 1 bag ..wow it turns from saddlebag to rucksack of some sort..properly rip if u aint careful...


was so tempted to get the spoke reflectors....reckon its worth buying?

do note i have a ss/fixed so that type of diy is ok if that makes sense

I bought some Glasses and pump, they didn't have any socks in stock.

The pump is pretty good, feels quite sturdy for £6 and the glasses aren't bad either, the foam insulating pad is better off left off as it is a bit bulky, although might be glad of it in the winter.

Just tried the pump out and it'll be OK for me - shrader, 80psi.

Wore the cycling trousers today for 23 miles and they were fine, though perhaps a little warmer than I expected. I got a medium (I'm about 34 waist) and it was fine even though it was marked 38 - 40 medium!

The pannier set was bigger than I expected and I will probably just use the side panniers mostly without the top bit. I didn't have quite the right rack so needed to add a bungee to help hold it in place, no problem.

Haven't worn the glasses or jersey yet and resisted buying the reflectors

Oh and the sockes were socks

 

[musa]

any one going lidl note the stuff is bulky seems like everyone saying the same thing

 

[Nebulous]

I got a cycling suit in large. I haven't tried it on yet though.

 

[Night Train]

I was going to get the panniers too but my local Lidl's is still being repaired after the national looting idiots week a few weeks back.

they looted Lidl? I see they go for high end gear round your neck of the woods then. In Birmingham they went for Primark

Don't know about that long, brought mine yesterday, went to use it today and the lever came straight off, broken piece of moulding. You watch the shop be out of stock now
