Bargain

I've often heard that Aldi sells good but cheap cycling kit though I've never bought anything from there. I popped in yesterday evening for a few essentials and found a load of cycling gloves in one of the bargain bins. A quick rummage later and I became the proud owner of a pair. All for the princely sum of £3.50!

First impressions are good to be honest. They seem well made and padded (gel on the palms) and they also have the all-important towelling "snot wiper" on the back of the thumb part.

Having seen similar, non-branded gloves in bike shops for a tenner, these are a bargain indeed, I'd say.
