£19.99 in the Catford Branch this evening. Only 3 pairs of gents left though (2 medium, 1 large).

Bike stands at Catford down to 19.99. Bit of a bummer that I couldn't ride home with one, really.

Bike stands at Catford down to 19.99.

This news fills me with great joy

They have a few bike stands left at my local Aldi, but Mrs Accy moans like feck about my three bikes being there. Could she cope with a bike stand in the corner of the back room as well as the bikes? Somehow i don't think so!

Me, too. I just bought one with the £20 Mummy66 gave me for my birthday.

Only downside is that I'm now at Catford Bridge waiting for the train, which is delayed would you believe?

 

[Dec66]

Oh, if you're thinking of buying one of those stands; please, please, please put some padding on the hooks before you put a bike on them.

They are only painted metal, and they will scratch your frame to buggery within seconds, as I just found out the hard way.

I didn't see it, what happened?

Staff are expected at work 15 m before they get paid to get changed, which is pretty standard to be fair, and checkout staff are instructed "You dictate the pace, not the customer!"

Out of date produce, scant regard for health and safety issues to staff and to customers as well.

Still, they're probably all like that.

 

[NorthernDave]

To be honest, I was in M&S last week and they had out of date stuff in the fridges, so Aldi aren't the only ones.
And I know for a fact that staff at Tesco and Asda have to scan a certain number of items per minute which is constantly measured by the till which warns them if they are going too slowly.

 

[Dec66]

And, more pertinently, not putting any fecking padding on the arms of their bike stands.

They should just called them "bike scourers".

Are the bike stands free standing? Or do they need to be fixed to something? Our conservatory is the bike room so nothing to fix them to if they aren't freestanding.

 

[Smokin Joe]

You can buy freestanding workstands online for £25 or so. They have adjustable jaws and all sorts of other features and seem like a better deal than the Aldi ones.

Mine came from ebay, £27. Fully adjustable with heavily padded jaws.

 

[Pale Rider]

Most bike shops will let you have a couple of the bits of foam that comes on the tubes of new bikes - they only throw it away.

They need to be fixed to a wall, or something else static.

I made the mistake of thinking it was freestanding, till it clattered to the ground as I put the top beam in.
