For all us cheapskate lovers.

Usual stuff, rain jackets, jerseys, cheap lights plus more socks....

If any one plans to use the shoes with cleats then I recommend you stay well away - the cleat screws on mine literally tore the (very) thin metal mounting plate... result - shoe stuck in pedal as just rotated around remaining bolt rather than unclipping... could have been very lethal, but thankfully I was going very slowly and already unclipped the other foot...

My Lidl shoes are alright, the laces are crap and so's the velcro strap but the sole's nice and stiff. For a "spare" pair it's worth grabbing some

tbh, mine did the same after 3-4 rides as well, the socks are good though 🙂

To paraphrase cp, don't put your faith in the Lidl's cycling shoes if you fit cleats. The same thing happened to two pairs of mine. They're fine without the cleats (although they don't grip well on flats) but fit the cleats and you'll be throwing them away in a fortnight!

And don't mention Lidl's compass/altimeter watches 'cos I've gone through two of them in less than a month, but as they say 'buy cheap, buy twice'.

Mind you, their trekking socks, kitchen roll & red grape juice are all well worth the money.
