I will be going past the Lidl where Mum picked mine up anyhow so really isn't that much trouble. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that they're still in stock! Besides, I'm hoping that creating all this good cycling karma will mean that one day I get all the lights on green on the way into work ;-)


I'm going up on Friday night and will probably nip in sometime on Saturday for them - but will check the thread for any new additions beforehand!

I bear bad news...


Neither branch of Lidl had any left; I even asked them to look out the back in case they'd just been removed from the shelves. One manager said that they'd sold out; the other that after 2 weeks on sale, all their promo stuff gets bundled back up and shipped back to their central warehouse. She also said that they might get them back in again since they often do lots of lights/reflective stuff when the clocks actually go back.


Sorry guys!

I hear talk of a law that only allows Unicycles to use the new Cycle Lanes.

All cycles to have a registration number, to trace those in accidents.

Only one wheel would reduce the area that the cycle uses.

This would reduce the speed of users.

All cyclist's to wear yellow reflective jackets.

It would also make the rider more aware of his own danger of getting hurt as to the pedestrian.

A cycle lift to be placed at Dog Kennel Hill on the up side, and a Skate board on the down side.

St John's Ambulance Staff to attend, and Trafic Warden to write a report of any incident.

can anyone on here recommend the best brand/type of gloves for cycling in winter? thanks


my hands are freezing early in the morning in my little endura fingerless mitts - its especially bad when waiting at traffic lights as i just want to turn around and cycle home again. brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Kateie1997 - Sealskinz gloves are amazing! they do many different styles for many different uses. good price too. Just google them..


And if you haven't tried already, when it gets really cold.

Try some very fine silk liners (decathlon d some good one for under a fiver i seem to recall)


I hate cold fingers!

It's my toes that go first... Brrrrrr! I wanted to try mittens on the bike since I know they keep my fingers warmer when I'm out in snow but can't quite see how I'd change gear easily in them. Hmmm, perhaps 'flipper style' mittens with three 'compartments' so that the middle one can still reach the gear and the other one, the brake.

thanks for the cycling mittens advice everyone, very helpful to know some good brands from other cyclists. (tu)


PS. I never get cold toes so I recommend bridgedale socks (although I am sure these aren't designed specifically with cyclists in mind, more for hill-walking)

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
