Lidls got bike gear again

[QB1]

In case anyones interested Lidl will have bike gear again from Thursday 28th.

Not sure about the boots (of course each to their own) but the baselayers are brilliant even if I do wear them more for walking the dogs than riding the bike. They are great on the bike too though. :)

Thanks Nicky :)

Thanks Nicky. The kidney belt is excellent value for money – I have two as I use one for a bit of extra back support at work. I found the winter gloves are better suited to summer use.

The waterproof over trousers and jacket are just that – I can’t fault them. That said I bought the waterproofs a few years ago so they may have changed – worth a look though.

great news will have to trip up to one and have a look.

Can't see jacket and trousers on the web page, I've had some lidl trousers for about 5 years which I use as over trousers when I ride to work and they need to be replaced

Is that because you've got a 'bit of extra back'? Try cutting down on the burgers Ken ;D

Ye sorry Bob, I just looked at their promotional brochure and the waterproofs don’t appear to be listed.

Thanks for the reminder Dan (WB) I have put a bit of beef (horse) on since giving up the ciggies. :(

Have used base layers from both Aldi & Lidl and, for the money, excellent.
Tried the flip front helmet from Lidl once as was thinking of going this route and thought better to try for £30 than invest £300+ and not be able to get used to it. On my experience I definitely wouldn't recommend the helmets, even though I only wanted it to try out I didn't feel confident in it even when pootling a few mies, noisy, ill fitting & cheaply made.
Served it's purpose though as put me off flip fronts for life ;D
Keep an eye out for security chains and padlocks, great value for money for heavy duty kit, ideal for garage duties and links big enough to take other padlocks if you're not confident in the Lidl/Aldi ones they come with.

I bought the flip up helmet from lidl last year as a cheap 2nd helmet for work use etc, and apart from some extra wind noise, the helmet is very good, not heavy, easy to use and the flip down sun glasses are great.

Have to agree with the flip down tinted visor, trying the Lidl hat out made this feature a must on the helmet I did go for. Pleased to hear it worked for you, I have a BMW riding mate who rides 365 days year 40K+ miles and he bought one for his second (third?) choice helmet and still occasionally uses it as his 'ride to work' helmet.

I find the internal sunvisors a great help to me not least becasue I wear glasses so don't need to carry two different types around with me all day. I've had once since buying my Schuberth S1 6 years ago and now thats up for replacement I'm looking at an S2 or one of the new Shoei GT Air helmets. The sun visors are a must have for me.

Are the boxers any good?
I've been looking at them for ages and I'd swear they're lopsided :D
