Cheap Cycling Gear

[Toks]

It looks like the popularity of cycling has finally hit mainstream shops. Last week I was out shopping for trainers with my son and noticed inexpensive cycling gear in both TK Maxx and Sports Direct.Com. The look and quality seemed OK, most of the tops were £10-15 - probably not for the Rapha and Assos aficionados though

I picked up a "boil in the bag" Karrimor jacket from sports direct for £12. Seems well made and is waterproof, not very breathable but does the job.

Lidl and Aldi do some good cycling gear too when their specials come around. Got a softshell Autumn/Winter jacket from Aldi for £15 and it's brilliant.

Beard-guard is just a tad snappier than 2-to-3-days-stubble-because-you-haven't-bothered-shaving-at-the-weekend-snagging guard.
