LIDL CYCLING CLOTHES

[jasonmccullum]

Just bought a cycling shirt and long cycling trousers for £14. (the top was £5.99 and the Trousers were £7.99.)

Only had a few in stock in Camberley.

I went inside a lidl once never again i guess you got to be really in the gutter to shop at those places.

Or intelligent enough to make a wise purchase despite what other people think.

dont know about you, but i am just starting to get back into riding and if i can get some so called Inferior clothing, and pay £14 rather than £100, then all power to me.

As far as i can see there is a lot of prejustice around in biking, be for for the name of the bike manufactor or the clothing......either way i am out on my bike and loving it.


isn't that more important than the name printed on the clothing.

beside having lived in India 90% of the clothing is made in the same place and just rebadged with either a known brand like Nike or an unknown brand.... same factory same product...same quality.....!!!!

In almost all instances you get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful is enough for some people though i appreciate that.

It's the only place to ride!!
I got most of my stuff from either Lidl or Aldi. It's cheap, functional and is mostly pretty good (Aldi waterproof over shoes, AIN'T!!!!)
I am not a lycra clad fashion victim so it does me OK.
Oh I would recomend their power tools. Briliant for the average DIY'er

I doubt those power tools will last long. Its not just about the prduct anyway but the people inside those places, generally second class citizens.

I sometimes wonder if blazed is from another Planet, he doesn't seam to have a very firm grip on reality...

There are bargain to be had at Lidi if you look for them, but some of the stuff can be rubbish e.g. don't buy lights there...

blazed = troll and not a very clever one.

More like a Cretin.
We get loads of stuff from Lidl. The Salad is much better than Tesco or Asda and less than half the price.

I bought some a few months ago. Good value for the money, still doing the job and comfortable to wear.Im far too long in the tooth to pay through the nose for trendy labels or to give a toss what some people may think .

Fruit and Veg in Lidls allways seems to be good quality and reasonable price.

I bought a few tops for a fiver each last year when I was getting back into cycling - they were coolmax and did for the time being until I could afford better quality stuff. A fiver's no money - I still use them for training rides when my others are in the wash - I can't afford to have loads of good quality tops at £50 a pop even though they are better.

Socks were crap tho'.

When you just start out there's a lot to buy on top of the bike so you have to save money where possible. Too many 'inverse snobs' around - i.e. if it doesn't cost a lot it isn't bling enough!
