March 5, 201115 yr Lidl are selling lots of cycling stuff a week on Monday (14th) Picked up a leaflet today, its worth a look. Would it be too cheeky to ask you to scan and post the leaflet? I could use some new over shoes, but I doubt they'd sell obscure stuff like that?
March 5, 201115 yr Overshoes For BLACKPANTHER ? Lidl have Motorcycle gear on Monday 3rd March and they have Rain Overshoes for £5.99 . They are described as wind and waterproof with sealed seams and PVC Coating , hook and loop fasteners with non-slip soles . Sizes S to XL .
March 5, 201115 yr Get there early, there's often a queue and regular sizes go quickly. Some stuff is naff but I find the clothing good.

March 6, 201115 yr Author why not just go to their website and check them out there? Cos it does not show offers on Monday 14th?
March 6, 201115 yr Thanks for the heads-up info BigEd and the info not yet available on the web site. There's a couple of clothing items I'm wanting to replace. Aldi cycling offers will also not be far away - need to keep an eye on them.
March 14, 201115 yr Picked up a few items from lidl today some v good stuff! There seem to be some pricing differences though! I got a pack of 2 coloured panniers for 11.99 instead of 1 for 11.99. They seem very strong and and long enough you to hold a battery. Some items were not available in my local store Edited March 14, 201115 yr by donnoirf
March 14, 201115 yr And here are the Lidl panniers in use, excellent value. Can anyone spot my mistake:o I also bought a couple of saddles which seem OK. LIDL cycling goods. [ATTACH]1858.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1859.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1860.vB[/ATTACH]
March 14, 201115 yr Author I got a few of the the offers as well. I got the other panniers with detachable top bag, liked the rain cover that zips out. A rain jacket, great value at a tenner. The floor pump for when we are on holiday with the bikes. The small 'saddle' bag with toolkit, the toolkit is very comprehensive, it even comes with a cloth to wipe your hands and spare bulbs, though i cant see bulbs being much use to me. Some items had not turned up at my branch, lights, specs and accessory kits All in all a great mornings shopping, top value stuff:)
March 14, 201115 yr Can't spot a mistake John. What have you done? Panniers look good, unfortunately my local Lidyl is 14 miles away so I'm going to miss out. We do have an Aldi and periodically they do these promotions - hoping they do a bike one soon. John - Have you given us the lowdown on the trailer in the past? Would be quite interesting if you haven't.

Would be quite interesting if you haven't. Hi Dave, My mistake was to fit the panniers back to front, i.e. the reflective white triangles should have been at the back not the front. They are now though. The trailer is a B.O.B. Yak which I bought secondhand. I had wanted one for a while and this one was the right price and came with an extra set of forks, but excluding the 'Dry Sak' which I bought seperately. It is a few years old and not the latest version, but had not had a lot of use and there is very little to go wrong with them. It's main purpose is for shopping trips and it performs this task very well. It will carry a considerable load, over 30Kg, and the Dry Sak does what is says, it keeps things dry. Towing and handling is not a problem with the Forza, unloaded, you can quite easily forget it is there. To sum up, it is an excellent bit of kit, but quite expensive to buy new, about £330 including the Dry Sak.
March 14, 201115 yr Are you sure you picked up those panniers in Lidl John? They look pretty smart - completely different from the picture on their website. I could have been tempted. [ATTACH]1874.vB[/ATTACH]
March 14, 201115 yr and I thought my day turned out long & pricey my lidl is just 3 miles away! so I rode there! on the way home I took a detour to the other lidl to see if they had the tool kit there. On the way there ( now I'm 6 miles from home) I get a puncture in my week old continental Travel contact trye (PUNCTURE RESISTANT MY A...!!) no spanner in my bag, so I walk 3 miles pushing the bike to the nearest bike shop! sorry no can do! we are too busy & have no space for you to leave the bike! so I walk the other 3 miles home. Get home.. Knackered! wheel off ... in the car... to the other bike shop who fixed it up for £8.00 + £27.00 for a better puncture resistant tyre for the back wheel loved the lidl prices & gear, hated the remainder of the day!

[ATTACH]1874[/ATTACH] Hi Lass, they are definitely from Lidl, they do a couple of different types, these are ones I bought LIDL To be honest, I don't think they are quite as tough as a very similar pair I bought from Lidl a couple of years ago. They have had a lot of use and are still going strong, but the new ones will do just fine and for £11.99 are a bargain.

They seem very strong and and long enough you to hold a battery. Some items were not available in my local store They are usually priced up as a pair but it's not obvious, I've made the same mistake in the past. I looked at those today and they look very good VFM but the side panels will let water in, they may well bounce off the rack and they aren't very hard wearing. But if you like them enough to knacker them then you'll probably be happy to buy an expensive pair. I think they are much better than a throwover set. and I thought my day turned out long & pricey my lidl is just 3 miles away! so I rode there! on the way home I took a detour to the other lidl to see if they had the tool kit there.

I've tried loads of puncture resistant tyres and had loads of punctures, the only one I haven't tested well are the Marathon Plus, that will come soon when I take the winter tyres off. I picked up a new saddle, I think it was the last road one there and I got some new summer gloves. For some reason they think mens feet are size 6-8, no surprise the shelf was still full.

I have a basil throw over set, but but I like the practicality of the lidl red & blue set because they looked like they would be practical for shopping, inthat I can take them into the supermarket with me & not have to use carrier bags . also when not filled the they stay fairly flat personally Im finding that they quite difficult to remove from the rack, from that angle I fear that the clips will break in no time.

I had a set of Wisper panniers in the past with similar clips and they broke quite quickly. They are good for taking off and carrying into shops, I wouldn't want to go back to throwovers.
March 16, 201115 yr Thanks Aldby for posting the pictures of your bike resplendent in Lidl panniers. I wasn’t really questioning that you bought them there, just expressing surprise that you had, as the only pic I saw when I went to their website was the one I posted. I’ve been wanting some inexpensive panniers to use at the supermarket just like Donnoirf, and Lidl’s throw over ones didn’t fit the bill. I picked some up there today. Without your pics I wouldn’t have known what I was missing. (Have yet to venture out to the dark shed and see how well they fit)

March 16, 201115 yr Did you get the ones with spots on Lynda:D Now you are deliberately trying to confuse me by switching threads :D But me not THAT brain damaged......I found your post........ And the answer is NO...not yet, cos me still in spain......watch this space.......but first priority is the new bike before the yummy spotty helmet Lynda

A little uncanny too, as I've been reading that thread, but not posted that I think that spotty helmet is great. Maybe I should go for the helmet, add some spots to the panniers and have a co-ordinated look?
