... not looking good for my local Lidl, as they may not have given them much stock as they didn't shift the last time!

I would happily have bought 10. Take 2 or 3 to Canada for friends/family there, and resell the rest via our childcare co-op, probably for £15 each, with the co-op taking the £5 profit.

im waiting to see swarms of little kids whizzing about in london fields on them

oh piffle that's so annoying

why can't they limit stocks to a few per customer? buying the whole lot up is just ridiculous

The Grantham store had 3 left after I had been at 10:30 this morning.

I bought my bike from the Footscray/Sidcup store Thur am at about 9.30. No rush on them - I reckon there were about 7 more still there. Grandad has assembled said bike for DS and it is great - build quality seems good and it is 'size adjustable'. Good luck those of you still searching....

I struggled across town this morning and the girl in the shop told me they all went in the first 10 minutes and people were fighting over them . I was most disappointed but also a bit relieved that I hadn't been there at the time. Partly 'cos I had the children with me and partly 'cos I'm a wimp (we are talking Whitehawk here!). Somehow I don't think I'd have been wading in!

look a lidl bike on ebay

I've counted at least 10 on Ebay.
They took 75 minutes to disappear from my local store. Was very and , but am hoping there will be a lot on Ebay, now, at least.

I did check out my Lidl on Friday (earliest I could get there) and there weren't any - not any any sign that there ever ad been any. maybe after they didn't sell last time, they didn't bother stocking any this time!

I'm sure the Lidl's closer to the "posh" areas of Glasgow had some - and that they disappeared very quickly!

i hate to admit this but there may still be some at my local lidl. dh picked up one for dd on Fri am. no fighting over them.
