    Got a few bits in lidl the last time and couldn't fault it

    Worse thing about Aldi is you cant get information on the deals till the last one is up, usually Thursday

    Looking for mud flaps,doubt ill get them in Aldi or Lidl

    Im not that hardcore into cycling and plus sized so didn't chance clothing

    Got gloves and helmet in lidl, then Base Layer on special layer in aldi.

    I have to be honest, I'm a firm believer in the best gear won't help you that much, only you can get the wheels turning

    I'd recommend asking over in the cycling forum, but for the most part the Aldi and Lidl stuff is quite well regarded. Jerseys and the likes are usually good value. Depending on the distances involved, the shorts may or may not be up to the job.

    I find the quality and style of Aldi's cycle by gear to be considerably better than Lidl's. It seems Lidl said to who ever produces their gear 'give us a load of jerseys and jackets, make them a few different colours/designs or whatever you think yourself' Their jerseys are horrendous looking things with nobthought put in to colours or design. Their gloves are very poor in comparison to Aldi's and their socks all shrink after a few washes.

    The unwritten rule is if you're gonna sweat in it buy Aldi over Lidl

    Nothing for me unless I lose a few stone, which is the plan with cycling. A vicious circle :D
