Need new clothes

[AuroraSaab]

I use these 2 sites, though neither are that comprehensive. They occasionally throw up decent deals though.

Closest Decathlon is Manchester

Yes compression stockings are expensive, I looked some months ago and they were £60 from the manufacturer and that's only for one pair, and I want two, then I can wear one pair while washing the others...........I dare not wear the calf support compresson braces and others that don't cover my feet, because no doubt my feet will swell.

I think I'll stay with flat pedals for now. Might try clips much later.

Check out the sales on Halfords/ cycle republic sites

Yup, +1 for the Halfords' sale rail - I've had a few good buys that way.

bib tights, tights or bib shorts with leg warmers?

I'm also a 41" waist which could be a problem when finding the right fitting whatever-I-decide-on
Was looking at these Amazon product ASIN B077MT6KGKView: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077MT6KGK/?coliid=I1RAT20IEP5C1U&colid=SY4QZOF88OJQ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I don’t do bibs but recently I’ve been wearing...altura winter cruisers over padded shorts/knickers/tights depending on temps (7-10/4-7/less than 4 Deg)

Cycle Republic have these in XXL in sale (Altura are more generous than most brands)

A mate went to one in the Halifax branch a couple of days ago. He showed me a jersey that he had just bought, which had a £12 sale price tag on it. I said that it seemed a good deal for £12 and he laughed - they were now clearing them at £5!

And (spelling it out in tedious detail, since it apparently wasn't as bleedin' obvious as I thought it was! )...


... what a good suggestion by @vickster - Halfords have some real bargains at the moment!

I was waiting for a punchline

Ah... I suppose it would be possible to make a joke out of it!

I have an Evans close by but I'm not going because of anxiety.

I'll try Halfords and SportsDirect tomorrow.

Edit: I do hate looking at new clothing because there's so many combinations you can wear. It confuses the hell out of me :/
