[Stan_Bowles]

Brisk business going on in the sunny feltham-on-thames branch. Got meself the ultra bright shirt,
winter top and some gloves.
Picked up the £5 off voucher so also got a shed load of passata and olive oil!
Might go back for the winter jacket.

Does anyone know if it is only on today or does it start today and keep going for a certain time?

 

[Stan_Bowles]

£5 voucher in today's Daily Mirror valid until 4th Oct I think.
Gear will be around for a while but popular sizes sell out quickly.

It's OfficialTM, cycling has taken off.

There must have been 30+ people in the Manchester Central store all crowded around the cycling bins. 3 deep!!! Never seen anything like it

Pair of socks, light set and puncture kit did me.

The gloves looked much better than previously.

The dayglo winter tops are ridiculously thin.

Good - don't even have to look at the paper to get to it. When is the offer valid until?

Worth a look at the front of the paper - Kylie's bum is in it

I had a set of the lights last year and they look the same as this year's offering. The front light is an aluminium torch with several LEDs in it. It has a few modes, flashing, strobe etc, and is bright enough to cast a beam and to get you seen. They run off 3 aaa's, They don't have any vents on the side so don't get you seen from the side. It'd get you home on a slow ride on an unlit lane but not really meant for that sort of riding. It attaches with a plastic spacer and two thick elastic straps, and fits bars of varying sizes. It stayed on my son's mountain bike on a skittery juddery bridleway/track the other night no problem.

The rear light is really good, very solidly made, very bright, and has various useful modes, with 3 leds. For the money they're unbeatable in my opinion.

I went about 10ish and there were 5/6 bloke and 2 ladies ! Definitely busier than the last Aldi day !

Missed the puncture repair kits

 

[Melonfish]

dropped in to mine at about 5 past 8, already 2 bikes chained up outside! went in and managed to root through and get the pants, some gloves, some socks and the small LED lights. the gloves are nice but better for deeper winter methinks
the pants seem ok but i feel like MC hammer wearing them.

Why oh why do their cycling shoes always start at a size 8? ...

Sounds good to me :0,how stiff were the shoes as i only have a pair of shoes with vents atm so its gettign chilly on the toes at 5 am
Might go and have a look tomorrow as i am complety skint till pay day , hence the glut of stuff i have in the for sales section..........

 

[dhd.evans]

Missus visited, claimed it was the most stressful experience in her life. Guessing it was pretty busy Not even sure what i've got... ho well. Surprise when i get home tonight i guess!

I popped to the Aldi next to Elland Road in Leeds at lunch. Utter mayhem. Like a bloody jumble sale. People litterally grabbing stuff as quickly as the staff could get it out. Got a couple of pairs of socks, a winter fleece lined top and a took kit. Tried out the top on the commute home. Good deep pockets including one zipped pocket. With an outside temp of 12 i was boiling hot, sweating cobs. Should be ok for the colder days though. I got a large as the medium was too tight. It's not a great fit, too baggy for my preference but at £19 it'll do for commuting. Wouldn't wear it on a club cafe run though!

Might have to go back tomorrow to get some lights. Could do with a back up rear light and the reviews are good

 

[pixiepie]

Got the LED lights, spoke reflectors, waterproof trousers and a merino top. Unfortunately they didn't have any jackets in my size so I'll have to try Sports Direct or Decathlon for that.

 

[Hip Priest]

Sent the other half to get me a pair of shoes (the same ones I got last year) and a merino jersey. I've got a nice pair of Shimano shoes for weekend cycling, but I find the ALDI ones stand u well to the rigours of the daily commute.
