For those who don’t want to emulate the pros, there’s also a less ‘high end’ selection of kit, and plenty of accessories that every cyclist needs.

A key highlight is the Cycling Rain Jacket, available for men and women at £29.99. Aldi assure us that it features Storm Guard Protection and is wind and waterproof, whilst still being breathable. Manufacturers have to meet a set of standards before they can call something ‘waterproof’, so we reckon this could be a winner if you just want to stay dry on the commute, provided you’re not after performance level breathability.

There is also a lovely looking flouro cycling jacket (£16.99 – bottom left) as well as cycling shirts (top left – £9.99 and available in black and flouro yellow). To finish that all off, you’ll obviously need some ladies cycling tights (£13.99).

Aldi are also laying out the accessories – with the £15.99 merino base layers and waterproof socks for just £12.99.  Cycling’s autumn heroes, arm and leg warmers are just £7.99, as are overshoes, whilst the gloves are £4.99.
