    Good selection, even more on their website with Free Ship to Store, return policy is unbeatable (~12 months, any reason/condition, requires one-time membership fee, I’ve had mine for 15 years).

    REI bike repair shop has become my number 1 go to for bike repairs. Cole assisted my husband and I with removing difficult screws from my ebike. Not only did he provide the best customer service Ive come across in years but he resolved an issue another bike shop was unable to resolve in under 10 minutes. He's extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend REI bike repair shop as one of the best repair shops in Huntsville!

    Manager gave me special discount pricing on some well-used shoes that I wanted, so I was happy right up until I reached the register. The clerk pushed membership and then told me that I couldn't purchase the shoes unless I joined and paid $30. I didn't want to, so she wouldn't let me buy the shoes. What kind of crap is this? Do they want to sell gear or not?
