    Look at the bottom of the screen, there is an option to continue without postcode.

    Anyone have any experience or advice on the panniers?

    Am considering buying but want to hear a few opinions first and not sure this is the right board

    I bought a couple of long sleeved jerseys and a pair of winter gloves from there earlier this week.

    The jersey's fit and seem comfy, as do the gloves. The real acid test will be when the cold weather bites though.

    First time i'd gone to Lidl for cycling kit, was impressed!
    Hills are like half life - they wait until you're 50% recovered from one before hitting you in the face with the next.

    Maybe too late for you now but I bought a very similar pair during a previous Lidl week. I use them purely for shopping trips so they don't get day-to-day beating that commuting panniers get, nor are they subjewcted to wear and tear from touring. But they do often carry several kilograms of groceries and have only needed one minor stitchin repair to a seam in 18 months to 2 years of use. I've only used the top bag once (on-bike only).

    In short, they are not super-tough go anywhere anytime panniers but hard to fault for the price.

    However, better panniers will often have more convenient attachment methods for faster fixing and removal - I also bought Lidl's all-weather" twin panniers with rollover tops but I've still to test them after the same amount of time - just not needed them yet!
