Default Re: its back........lidl bike stuff

I got the gloves last year for 15 quid and they are the best waterproof gloves I have ever owned, being that I yet to have wet hands even after a full winters riding.

I also have the tank bag from 3 years ago and its just starting to give up now, after about 40k miles of use.

I did also own a Jaket from there but I found the design on the sleeve sucked and it let in water (took it back for a refund), looking at the design in the news letter I picked up in store they have imporved it now.

The little battery charger is also a great purchase.

They have put the Waterproof trousers up by £10
I only paid £39.99 last year. I need a new pair cos my others were cut off after my accident. I might look elsewhere

Sounds good, I might get some. 2 things-
1. Any experience of them in an off? How did they perform? If not, do they at least look/feel strong?
2. How thick/insulated are they? Can you still feel heated grips through them?

I still use a back protector from there. Comfy, very cheap and more robust than some more expensive ones I've seen. Mine protected me very well when I skated down the road on my back at 60mph, even with a laptop in my (bog standard, unpadded) rucksack. Their touring maps of the UK are really good too. Just the right size/resolution and mine still look like new after about 30K miles use.

Hmmm alarm disk lock and intercom looks tempting!!!

Bike will be parked outside my office, so it doesn't need to stop them, just make me aware some buggers trying to nick it...

Intercom would be handy for when i go out with the missis!!!!

When I bought a tank bag it was just a £5

I also bought a 'kidney belt' thinking it was a sort of storage pouch thingy like I use on my mountain bike, only to discover it was just a belt covering the kidneys

Good stuff for the price though
