They've done it for a couple of years now.  When they start selling bikes I'll start thinking the world has got a little stranger  :)

Last time Aldi had the bike gear for sale, a shitload of people were lined up at the door, then the rush, jackets went quickly, I bought one of their helmets for use on me road bike, it's AS 1698 approved, comes with spare visor and hasn't much wind noise at speed. Their bike stand seems ok , too

But it is strange, innit ?, a supermarket selling bike gear, generators, infra red camouflaged wildlife cameras !!, hmm, must get one of those.

There is a place here in Finland called LIEDEL there all over Europe a dead ringer for ALDI must be connected some how. They have all sorts of stuff a friend brought a TV the other day.

Unforunately my local bike shop, the one that offered service and knew what they were talking about, shut last year.
