Lidl sale today
Lots of bike accesories on sale from today. Picked up a wireless
computer/heart monitor for £12.99, a rack briefcase (excellent) for £4.99 and a general panier set for the same price. Other stuff included pumps, repair kits, baby seat, saddle, saddle cover, socks, lock, helmet etc. Full list on the Lidl website. Not the best quality stuff but great for the price. |

Pretty good from what I can see so far - 21 function with all the basic bits plus the heart monitor. Also has a service feature - so whack in 200, 400, 600 or 800 miles and it will let you know when you've done that much which I thought was good. Nice instructions, easy to install and looks cool. Seems to be not autostart though - at least not auto on so I need to look into that. Details he- http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/index.nsf/p..._Pulse_Monitor Other items he- http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/index.nsf/p...20040322.index including a cheaper £4.99 computer. |

I bought, padded shorts, cycling top, sports glasses, helmet, gel seat cover, lock, cycling gloves. How much? £25 - not bad eh? Rodders |

Basically the same price I paid for one pair of winter tights. Quality isn't directly comparible but this lot certainly seem fine. Does make you wonder why no one else does this? For those who make regular trips to the continent, I don't remember what their cycling gear prices are like, but Decathlon is definately worth a visit. Has anyone been to the stores in the UK? From the website it looks like the range is smaller than in France. Jon |

Aldi have periodic cycling specials. Plus Tchibo do too.

... Went to Decathlon in Dockland, in search of camping gear. Not very impressed with the quality or heavy weight of the stuff. Never been to France... I spend a lot of time on holiday there. (Though not so much since I moved out on my own ;-( ) My experiences have been generally good. Both wheels on my old racer were bought there and the pair (Mavic CXP 33 rims IIRC, and Ultegra hubs) cost about £150. I still wear a Decathlon SS jersey and gloves, I have three (Now torn to shreds due to overworking!) pairs of combats which cost about £10 each, and my cycling shoes are a pair of own-brand stiff bottomed road shoes which have lasted much better than the Shimano pair I originally bought when I went clipless! That said. When I was looking to buy a new bike, their's was one of the first web sites I looked at. They had exactly what I was looking for; modern Alu frame, 105 transmission racer. But only in France. The UK site had much lower spec bikes and no suggestion that they might stock better ones. I presume that they cater for the market, but the impression is definately that the UK range is worse than the French. Their casual clothing is pretty good too! Jon |

I cycled over to the Lidl in Caerphilly today, and completely failed to find the damned place. I *really* should have printed out a map and taken it with me. From what everyone else has said in the thread, they might not have any kit left tomorrow, either Still, I think it's kind of cool that I got back thinking not that I'd had a wasted journey, but that I'd had a nice 11 mile ride. Wouldn't have had that feeling in a car or on the bus. -- Keith Willoughby http://flat222.org/keith/ "Suspected murderer of Tupac murder suspect murdered" |
