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)

    • I'm just about to adopt a new cat & they now have to be kept in at night. Technology really isn't my thing so is there anyone out there who would be happy to go through the instructions for a new cat flap with a timer & explain to me, in simple words, how it works? Maybe someone who already has one? 
    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
