Garmin Edge 500 at Aldi for £79.99
The Edge is the standout product, at £79.99. The Garmin Edge 500 GPS computer tracks speed, distance, elevation, heart rate and power when combined with Ant+ monitors.
Garmin units are notorious among UK cycling retailers as having a poor mark up – pricing is rarely reduced by that much because even the major retailers aren’t making a lot of money from selling them, even at the full RRP. In fact, if they’re reducing them, it’s mainly in the hope you’ll buy something else whilst you’re there.
We can only assume Aldi have managed to swindle an amazing deal with Garmin, or they’re using this little offer to get you in store to buy the jackets – which, at £29.99 – you might be wise to do!

For those planning on a little indoor training, Aldi have a turbo trainer for an incredibly competitive £49.99. It comes with a handlebar mounted lever to adjust resistance (usually found on much more expensive versions) and a riser block (so you don’t have to get sweat all over the Yellow Pages).
Alongside a range of cleaning kit (Muc-Off, GT85 and so on) you can also snap up an Aldi bicycle maintenance stand for £29.99.
