It's neat because there aren't other Strider Bike locations to actually get to look at the bikes before you buy.

The staff educated us on the bikes and the equipment and off the girls go! Fast forward to this year and the girls were excited to come back not only to Bentonville but the strider store. The staff was warm and inviting. Fun was had and thank you to the staff for the education and learning lessons. Our oldest daughter trying to do tricks and showing off!!!!

I meant to write this a while back but just kept putting it off…read more I was in Bentonville/Bella Vista for the Oz Trail stage race at the end of May. I was having some shifting issue and could not get the micro-adjust to fix the problem. I ran by the shop and with very short notice the mechanics put the bike in the stand and made the repair. To top it off, after a very muddy first stage, my shock lockout quit working. Once again, Phat tire to the rescue. Those folks in the shop are ON IT! Thanks tons for keeping me rolling!

I've rented from Phat Tire Bella Vista for the past few years after my son moved to NWA. I'm here…read moreat least twice a year. Always had great service. Until this past 3-day rental in April. I rent eMTBs due to being 62 and double knee replacements. I wouldn't be in the sport if were not for electrification. At first, I was happy to rent a brand-new Trek Rail. I'd be the first to ride it. However, to my dismay, I couldn't ride 2.5 miles without the chain popping off. It popped off 3 times. And then the chain broke within 4.0 miles of starting my one and only ride. Also, one cleat on my SPD pedals wasn't able to adjust tension and my shoe would pop out too easy. IMO this bike hadn't been fully ride tested prior to being rented. After I skateboarded my bike back to the parking lot and returned the bike, I was utterly miffed on being charged to replace the chain with a halfhearted apology from the store manager, Adam. I pleaded my case to no avail and was told I should've taken the insurance and "that's how the bike rental business works..." seams like customer Disservice to me. I considered myself a loyal Phat Tire customer. My rant continues: If I purchased a brand-new bike, a broken chain would be covered under warranty, especially with less than 2 hours of use. Also given the fact that the chain kept popping off, the bike needed better tuning. I can't believe I spent more than $400 dollars for a 3-day rental as I did just last November. I certainly did not get my money's worth. In fact, I feel ripped off. Shame on me. I was unable to get on the bike on day one or day two of my 3 day rental due to other time commitments. Rental day 3 didn't get me out on the bike till 4:30 PM. (I was going to pay an $20 overnight fee to ride till 7:00 PM. After the shop closed) More than $400 for less than 1 hour of total ride time. A fancy lawyer doesn't make that an hour. But that's on me due to my scheduling conflicts. Something changed. I don't know what. Maybe corporate Phat Tire sought expansion by partnering or selling to a private equity firm or maybe the team at the Bella Vista shop is overworked, underpaid or just not engaged in customer service. Or maybe it's me and I just had a bad day. I don't feel that if I'm spending $120+ a day for a bike rental that I shoulder have to take extra time from my day/ride to adjust my seat, pedals and fix chains that derail much less have to pay for chain. All I know is I like to ride and when I'm traveling around the US or Canada and I can fit it into my schedule, I'll bring my bike or rent a bike. This has brought me great memories, lots of fun and good health. Not this past time...

We got a late start as bike riding just wasn't a priority when the wee one was younger. He's 10 now but really felt left out and needed a confidence boost. He and dad just didn't click when we tried riding. Cue coach Emily. The patience of a saint and knows all the tricks, styles, and buttons to push to get the young one excited about learning. Even making the falls fun and tolerable. Coach Scott was awesome to work with as he really helped behind the scenes with scheduling and payments. I can't recommend this place enough. If ya want your youngster eager to learn and enjoy bicycling, this is your place. One stop and you can purchase, rent your gear, and get lessons.

The Rush Running location in Bentonville has some incredibly helpful employees who know their shoes…read moreand are able to make specific, well-reasoned recommendations of brands, models, and features based on my needs (and imagined needs). Like many small speciality shops, this one can get busy on Saturdays, but during the week I've had nothing but exceptional customer service. They seem to have limited color choices for each shoe, at least the ones I get. This limitation doesn't bother me because I'm there to find the best trail shoes for my needs, not for fashion. On the occasions I've groused about the available color(s), the staff has always offered to order a different color for me - great customer service, but I just buy the best color they have in stock, even if that's neon yellow and blue. I mention the limited color choices because running shoes have become fashion items, and if your goal is to complete your "outfit," or if you're shopping for picky kids, you might not find what you're looking for, at least in stock. But if you're looking for running shoes for running, Rush Running is the best place in Northwest Arkansas.

He had enough patience to allow me to try on multiple shoes when in other stores I feel rushed or a burden. He showed me new ways to tie my laces and took the time to figure out I had a wider foot and my feet were different sizes. He was knowledgeable about all the shoes they had in stock and how they ran in sizing, width, and padding. I will definitely be back and refer my friends to get their next pair of shoes here. Extremely impressed! 5/5 experience
