    We love REI! When we went in to buy a trailer for the bike for our kids, they took time to help us find the right one both on the phone and in person. The biggest thing they told us is to make sure that we got a convertible ones so that we could use it as a stroller as well. This has been a game changer. We’ve used it a handful of times for biking but almost every day as a stroller!! If I had bought it online, I would have not thought about this, and it would’ve mostly gone unused. But it’s a fantastic stroller! Of course we purchased it from REI, even though it was a little more expensive there. If we want there to be fantastic advice in the future, we need to support our local stores that help us out when we need it!

    Nick, the REI bike mechanic, rocks! He happily took on the challenge of repairing the front forks and wheel of our Bike Friday tandem after a minor accident that bent both the forks and disc brakes. We were very fortunate that he had the bandwidth and skill to carry out this unusual repair. REI is lucky to have him.

    Went specifically for boots/shoes. Sorry I don't remember your name. She had endless patience, a plethora of knowledge, and was able to help multiple customers at once. Kudos to her.
