Prices are meh, it depends on what they have on sale at the moment. Service is slow but so is foot traffic so that makes sense.

Location: On the main, corner Fairmount. Street parking is available but metered. If you use the…read moresubway, you can get off at Mont-Royal and walk over, unless you're too lazy. The place: This store is smaller than its counterpart in Laval and thus, more cramped. It was a little difficult to get by other shoppers when moving down some of the aisles, and the store wasn't packed at all. The goods: These guys primarily sell outdoor clothing and backpacks, though, personally, I think there is a wider selection of bags over at MEC. In terms of clothing, they carry brand names - off the top of my head, I remember Lole and Prana. Service: No one greeted me or assisted me while I was there but the cashier was very friendly. Price point: To be honest, the only reason I stopped in was because I was dying of heat and I wanted to get something short-sleeved to change into. So, being in a rush, I got a Lole shirt which ran me $54. A bit steep, but I like Lole and I was too darn hot to go look elsewhere!

I heard a story recently that MEC and REI were started by the same group of friends, who wanted to…read morebring a European model of coop for outdoor gear to North America. Apparently when setting it up, they agreed to limit themselves each to their country (Canada and the US) in order to stay out of competition and to simplify things for the people who make this kind of specialty equipment. Whether true or not, they have certainly stuck to their corners and MEC remains a one stop shop for all kinds of specific outdoor gear at an always fair price. Plus, I love the people who work here. Gear nerds with none of the gear snobbery, totally happy to help you with whatever level you're at. In these Covid times, I took advantage of their website to order some baby outdoor gear (I am that mama, and I'm ok with it.) The website doesn't have everything you can find in store, or a ton of options in any category, but if you spend hours looking at life jackets online like I did, you'll come back here when you realize they have the only one you need.

My daughter and I took the Hidden Gems tour today with Jean François (Jeff). It was a fantastic…read moreexperience--we would never have seen the parts of Montréal JF showed us if left to our own devices. Montréal is a fantastic city on a bike. The pacing of the tour was perfect, not too slow, not too strenuous. It is obvious that JF is deeply knowledgable about urbanism, bicycle culture, and the way our built environment impacts our experiences of life. The details he pointed out and the places he brought us are easily overlooked, but super interesting. It is rare to find someone who takes so little for granted in their home environment. This tour was not just a lesson about history and some neighborhoods of Montréal, but about how to observe the world around us. I would give six stars if possible. It did not hurt that the weather was perfect. If it had rained, probably only five stars. It was a fantastic three hours and a highlight of our visit to MTL.

Frederick, our guide, took eight of us over a 7 mile tour of some of the classic neighborhoods of Montreal. His love for his hometown truly shines. We took about three hours because he made a point of showing us some classic Montreal native spots such as an immense farmers market filled with luscious locally grow produce. If we were staying long enough to cook, I'd be heading straight back there tomorrow . Frederick is a certified guide and while his knowledge is near encyclopedic, he never drones. He always invites questions and made us laugh a lot. Ask him how poutine got its name. He created a perfect blend of peddling and savoring He spaced out our rest stops in such a way that we were never bored with resting and nor fatigued with pedaling.

I actually went to another department, because she wasn't doing anything, and she told me to ask the one kid by himself to help me while he was already helping a lady, she gave the look like 'go and bug that kid.' What the hell? He finally came up to me and said, 'I'll be right back' with a why am I doing this job look in his eyes..cool, then I'll just leave! On the way out I saw two more 'experts' leaning against the cash register like they were hanging out at corner store. If you don't want to be there to work, then quit and work on your blogs kids! On the other hand, I decided to hit up the Footlocker, also in Rockland Centre, where I was greeted in less than a second by a five foot cutie who also was able to say 'hi' to about five other people walking in, then her manager came out to get ready and do there JOB!

Ive even taken friends to this shop for their bikes, and yet I was treated as though I was a thief, simply because I didnt have a proof of purchase receipt. I lost it. It happens. I wasnt asking for a new helmet, I wanted them to repair the plastic insert, which is a relatively new item in bike helmets, and more of a nuisance than anything. As such Ive had to reach out to Garneau to see if they would help. The one thing I have noticed whenever I go to this store is the ATTITUDE. Is it because im an Anglo? I dont know. But I wont be going there any more.
