From what we could see, they carry Fox bikes, which is a very high end, off road, cycle. I'm a 'bike path' sort of gal and an 8k+ cycle is way out of my price bracket. They had others for less, but all were very high end. We walked in on the 'repair' side of the shop (two doors from the sidewalk into the building) and the staff member there directed us over to the sales floor. He was the most pleasant part of our visit. I saw one staff member in the sales area who remained behind the register during our entire visit and I think there was one other staff member assisting a customer with gear. There were several customers milling around without being assisted. We exited through the sales area door and the staff member behind the register there asked if they could help but our reconnaissance pretty much told us what we needed to know. There may have been more options we didn't see, but as it was busy and the floor models all have price tags, I think we got the gist. Still, it would have been nice to have an offer of assistance before we were leaving. I wonder if the other customers there feel the same way.

A Wonderful Experience at Yawgoo!…read more We had such an amazing time at Yawgoo with our 4‑year‑old daughter's ski lessons. From the moment we arrived, every single staff member was beyond incredible--patient, cheerful, and so great with the kids. They made her feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn, which is everything you could hope for as a parent. The lessons themselves were fantastic, and you could truly see how much the instructors cared about creating a positive experience. Our daughter left smiling from ear to ear and already asking when she can go back! After lessons, we headed over to The Max and had an absolute ball. The chicken tenders were delicious, and the Shirley Temples hit the spot--total treat for all of us. It was the perfect way to wrap up a fun winter day. We can't say enough good things about Yawgoo. Wonderful people, great atmosphere, and amazing memories for our family. We'll definitely be back!

When we showed up - parking was a nightmare at the beach. I specifically asked about parking / general info ahead of time. Would have been helpful for the locals to give a couple pointers and maybe let us know that wrist bands need to be purchased for all beachgoers, but whatever - that's on me. Just seemed like a little common courtesy / customer service. Here's the real issue though. 1 instructor for 10 kids!! The beach lesson was maybe one minute long before he had all of them (ages 16 - 5yrs old) walking into ocean and getting pummeled in the break. They had no idea how to protect themselves or others from the surf board getting thrown around. Kids were getting smashed by boards around them. Several of the adults jumped into ocean to help the kids get past the break and stayed in water to ensure they were somewhat safe. The instructor seemed to only give tips to one kid at a time when he was prompted to give a tip (ie - when do you start paddling to catch a wave). Instructor admitted it was too much for him to handle on his own but that's just how WW operates. If it was a group of 10 random strangers there would be two instructors, but apparently when it's a 'private lesson' of 10ppl - only one instructor regardless of how rough the ocean is. Unacceptable. Dangerous. Should be ashamed of themselves. Find another surf shop for your lessons!

Narragansett Bikes (often stylized as 'NBX Bikes') is a bicycle shop that opened in Narragansett,…read moreRhode Island in 2007. It was founded by Matt Bodziony and his business partner Chris Dale. Beginning in his college years, Bodziony worked at Caster's Bicycles: a family-owned bicycle shop with locations in Providence and Warwick. He would end up working at Caster's for 19 years. Eventually, Bodziony wanted to open his own bicycle shop. In 2007, his old friend Joe Sisson informed him that he was looking to sell his family's bike shop, Narragansett Bikes, which had been family-owned and operated since 1989. Bodziony and Dale partnered up to purchase the business and rebranded it as "NBX Bikes". In early 2013, NBX moved down the street to a larger location. They even opened a yoga studio upstairs. That same year, Reed Caster (third generation owner of Caster's Bicycles) sold his two locations to NBX. In 2015, Rob Foulkes (owner of East Providence Cycle) retired and sold his shop to NBX as well. By 2020, the ownership at NBX decided to go back to their roots. They sold off all of their secondary locations and decided to operate as a single-store local bike shop going forward. I recently stopped at NBX Bikes for the first time. I had seen an advertisement for NBX to host a "JAWS" night that coincided with the 50th Anniversary of the classic blockbuster. I was very interested in attending; not only for my interest in cycling, but also because "Jaws" is my all-time favorite film. I arrived at the shop in the early evening. I was really impressed with NBX's showroom, their selection of bikes and accessories, and their excellent customer service. The first event of the evening was a 22-mile group ride along the seashore from the shop to Point Judith Lighthouse and back. It was so much fun! After the ride, all attendees were treated to an outdoor screening of "Jaws" which featured free cook-out food, beer and merchandise courtesy of Narragansett Beer. The beer brand is proudly featured in the film. This event also marked the release of a brand new exclusive "Jaws" bicycle jersey that was produced by a partnership between NBX and Narragansett Beer. I sure was glad that I pre-ordered my jersey a month earlier. I broke it in a week later when I was cycling on vacation in Maine. Overall, I had an excellent experience with the staff at NBX. Whether you've been cycling for several years or you're just looking to get into cycling, you should definitely head down to this excellent shop!

My bicycle is about 30 years old and heavy. I'm looking for a newer, lighter model to use for long distance rides along the bike path. This shop has a variety of street bikes, off road bikes and e-bikes plus storage systems, fenders, saddles, grips, racks and safety equipment. The prices seem to be in-line with what our expectations are and the sales rep emailed a quote for two cycles we thing will work best for my needs. They also rent cycles here, so I may just rent from time to time to see if it suits my needs before I purchase. I like that option.

Was looking for a particular kayak, and Kayak Centre had the boat.

When I found the same boat much closer to me I called them to cancel my order and they charged me a "restocking fee" for a boat that had not yet been brought into the shop, or unwrapped. The fee I had to pay, over $260, is the charge when someone buys a boat, takes it home, and then returns it. I can understand a small penalty for "making" them write up a sales slip, but this was excessive.

We were greeted with smiles the first time and we picked out a model (not cheap at nearly $4000) and were told we would be contacted. Zero follow up no response. I finally was able to reach out to the owner who was very apologetic and we returned again and agreed on the purchase. They sent an estimate in July and I responded to go ahead and still NOTHING. My wife is heartbroken and I am angry and mystified at how little they do to, not just make a sale, but even worse literally smash a persons dream. So I'm done with them and will just take my chances buying online and going to a local bike shop for adjustments. A really terrible experience and I hope if there are other bike shops out there they consider selling handcycles. It's a niche and this consumer needs choices.
