They've got the shoes for a tenner, and the biggest bargain of all, a tool kit with just about everything you'll ever need (unless you ride vintage bikes and need to remove cotters and freewheels) for £20 (£44 elsewhere on the net). Get down there.

    Shouldn't be. They're under "Great Outdoors", and you have to go through half a page of trekking gear to find the 5 or 6 bike bits. There are also pumps, smaller repair kits, a couple of other things.

    SamWise1972, I reckon you making it up as I could only see the MEN's shoes in that half a page of great outdoors gear :(:wink:

    Where are you?

    Southampton. My version doesn't gender the shoes, it just says "Cycling shoes", and in the store this morning, they had men's and ladies (marked on the box). I bought a pair. I'm also seeing track pumps, ladies cycling jackets, and various different toolkits.

    And people say this forum is London-centric. Lidl clearly doesn't agree :lol:

    According to the site none local to me. Still going to have a pop in though and see if they have anything left over from the last cycling load.

    Do you have a link to the bike stuff?

    For 'great outdoors' I just get one page of camping/walking stuff.
    MTB/CX

    I was in on Saturday night and my local had no cycling stuff left.

    This is a new offer, starting today. Worth another look.

    Cheers for the info.

    I just got a couple of pairs of their gel insoles which I hope will help my numb toe problem.

    Anyone else get numb toes?

    I just had a quick look and there's none listed (in my area, that is) but Aldi's autumn offer should be coming up shortly.
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    Alas with my clown feet, lidl cycle shoes would be useless for me. :shock:

    The one in Carron had socks, shoes, lights and inner tubes left.

    So I got myself a pair of socks. Only 1.99 so not loosing anything if I don't like them.

    I'll be keeping an eye on Aldi; had good stuff from there too, but they don't seem to let you know what the future holds in quite the same way!

    Aldi have a chainsaw for sale from today. Tempting to carry around in the panniers in case of a close call.

    ZOMG! Merino shirts for £15!!! I'll be there in force....

    Not seeing the overshoes though, which I would really like. Looks like they'll have road shoes for £15 at mine though.

    Ok, found the overshoes, under the non-informational heading "cycling accessories". Reckon they're waterproof?

    Couldn't see any cycling stuff for the Walworth store. :( I quite fancied the toolkit - it'll mean I double up on many of the tools but is probably still worth it for £20.
    Never be tempted to race against a Barclays Cycle Hire bike. If you do, there are only two outcomes. Of these, by far the better is that you now have the scalp of a Boris Bike.

    SamWise,
    Thanks for the heads up, popped in yesterday and picked up a tool kit. Very timely and looks like exactly what I need - have just bought the cog and spacers for a singlespeed conversion.
