ooh ooh we are posting our bike club URLs...
Mine is http://www.freewheelers.org.uk (I'm the webmaster and one of the blood bike riders)

just logged onto your site, what a fantastic idea, are you the only area that does this or are there others in the uk?

Thanks - but understand that it wasn't my own idea, the charity has been running since 1991.

There is another bloodbike group in Yeovil (also called Freewheelers), there is a group in the process of being setup in Dorset. A group in London called SERV ( http://www.serv.org.uk ) are quite active. I had thought about compiling a national directory because I know that there are some other groups out there as well. Maybe this will prompt me into action....

I called over to our local Aldi and came away with two pairs of Motorcycle boots, have to keep Mrs Seagull haapy !
For only £24.99 a pair the boots are good value, I already have bike boots but they don't keep my feet warm, the new pair are much better (gave them a test run this afternoon).

Thanks for the original link tio the deal. :j

The Aldi boots do seem to come up really tight though... last years ones where a snug but exact match for my size 11's...

I am returning the size elevens I got last week, I have noticed that Busters are doing some nice Swift boots for £40 (more like racing boots but still waterproof)

I have real hassle getting boots to fit over the top of my leathers and just can't do them up without enlisting help - anyone else have this trouble?

There are definitely some bargains in that lot, but just a word of warning about the helmet. Only buy a £19.99 helmet if you have a £19.99 head. Otherwise spend a little more.

I disagree. The Helmet must meet EU and the German TUV standards (which can be very strict). While some £200+ helmets might exceed these standards (and that's a big might) - the lidl helmet is perfectly sufficient.

What you won't get is the anit misting technology and airflow that you might get from a more expensive lid.

I recently replaced mine with HJC CL ST lid, but it served me well for a year.

The gloves look different to last year, becarful of pulling the lining out when you take your hand out - did this to mine after 5 months, however I managed to sort it and they are still going strong.

Many people hail the tank bag being great.

Does anyone know if Lidl will be doing bike gear again anytime soon?
