There are some bike bits in Lidl at the moment.
I chanced across some silver reflective panniers which looked for visibility especially at night.
I haven't tried them on the bikes yet, but they look promising.
Allegedly 19 litres each, and with rain covers.
[Which presumably take away the benefits of the reflective material.]
Well, unpacked them and the rain cover is zipped into the base.
There is a reinforcing piece which gives them shape.
Good for shopping or day ride, by the looks of them.
Not robust enough for touring (in my opinion).
Worth a punt for me at £12.99.

Re: Lidl bike bits - panniers
Thanks for the info, but I can't see them on their website so probably some left-overs.
Sound good for 13 quid - enjoy.

Re: Lidl bike bits - panniers
all the Lidl panniers I've ever seen have had very unconvincing looking fastenings - don't look durable. And a problem to sort any breakages. So can't help but think very bad value at any price.
I buy lots of other stuff from Lidl.

I have a set of triple panniers from Lidl that attach using the rack spring clip. Must be 15 years old at least. Would buy again. I have had singles that lasted only a few months before the sprung rail clips failed, so I won't buy more of them, or would mentally add £9ish per bag for add-on ortlieb clips.

Re: Lidl bike bits - panniers
I had a look at these panniers. Lots still in stock. They looked OK but the fabric didn't look like it'd last. Definitely for shopping only, not for touring. Also they have a strange warning that "unwrapped food" must not be transported in the panniers. What? Why not?? Are they made of lead or uranium???
Having said that, I've had a couple of the last year's versions. One set is still going, the other fell apart the first time I used it.
Lidls used to be great but I do think their quality standards have slipped slightly, e.g. you used to get a 3 year guarantee on everything, now it's down to 2 years on some stuff and 0 on others...!
