Lidl bike gear back in town
Tool kit (Lidl)
On the tools and workshop side of things there’s a mini tool kit for £4.99 including glue, repair patches, combination spanners, a multi-tool with five hexagon keys, slotted and cross head screwdriver.
There’s a floor pump with pressure gauge for £4.99 and a twin cylinder foot pump for just £2.99. Stuck for space in your shed or garage? The wall mounted bike rack at £6.99 might be worth a punt.
Storage on the bike is covered with a rear pannier bag set for £14.99, there’s also a five litre handlebar cool bag with a transparent map compartment at £4.99 – useful for touring or a picnic jaunt.
Other items on offer are cycling-specific jacket, shirt and gloves – all at a budget price, and judging by past feedback and user-reviews, they’re worth trying for such a low price.

If you are starting out, are short of cash or are plain stingy this is just cheap and cheerful. Had a bike computer from them last year that works most of the time and had a heart rate monitor in it - not bad for about a tenner. Friend got one too until he destroyed it. Also got the under saddle bag with all the spanners etc and that has been used too - it was about a tenner I think. Finally, got lights - back one fits my road bike fine, but the front one doesn't fit on the roadbike bars [bars too fat?] so is on the mountain bike. I could well easily have paid double +++ for this gear at our [excellent] local indy shop, but I am happy enough.

Bargain hunting cyclists might also want to pedal to their nearest Tchibo store as they have a few cycling oriented items in store this week. I think the stock might depend on were you live, but they seem to keep unsold items for longer than a week nowadays. I can recommend their coolmax type t-shirts a summer base layer - much cheaper than sports makes. The cycling top looks okay, but the colours?! They have shorts at £12, top £14 and a solar/battery powered bike computer with 30, mostly unmentioned, functions for £6.99. Also a lock and a large saddle that looks suitable for lard-asses.

I've had several bits of kit from the range from a few years ago and whilst it not the highest quality its better then most of the over priced branded muck that you see. The sizing info could be better though!
