    I've had base layers from both Aldi and Lidl. Nothing to separate them really, nice stuff. My Oxford bike socks were around a tenner and what were Lidl, £3 or something? Well worth buying.
    I may invest in the intercom just for listening to my music.

    Keep an eye out for the Merino wool base layers too (around £8 for the top in Aldi). Have a look on the net about Merino wool, this is the stuff the military use when on manoeuvres in extreme places as the properties on the stuff mean it doesn't cause skin issues if not washed. It's like self cleaning or some shit and contains lanolin so it's antibacterial.

    Found this elsewhere.
    "Merino wool has several advantages over synthetic materials. It wicks moisture away from the body quicker and (perhaps more importantly) can hold more of that moisture – about three times its own weight. This gives the water time to evaporate, where on a synthetic shirt it would be pushed back on to the body. Wool also doesn’t get smelly – even synthetics with ‘anti-bacterial’ treatment will need more frequent washing."
