We are new to the 'bicycle' world and needed some accessories to go along with it. We headed to the correct department to do our shopping and were immediately greeted. I feel bad that I forgot his name but he was so full of information and very very helpful. It's always a good day when you have great service!
REI has so many different accessories that aren't overpriced. I always love finding deals and there are many many to find in this store. Plus their store is co op rather than a publicly traded company. You can become a co op member for $20. That is a one time lifetime member fee. You'll get a percentage of your purchases back annually. Nice! Even if you aren't a member, you can still shop there. I've made many purchases there before I signed up.
From bikes to hiking to camping, this is a great store for the 'outdoorsy' type!~ And I always get great service from every employee I interact with. A+ in my book!
