I'm writing this review to shout out Froy in the bike department!!! He is the MVP! My derailleur was whack and he fixed it so quickly. It gets quite busy at the bike department (esp in the summer with kids wanting to get out with new bikes!). Froy also took the time to teach me the mechanics of the bike that I'll never forget since I want to try to maintain my bike myself. I highly recommend becoming a REI member if you aren't already one! Amazing perks such as discounts all the time and you get a return warranty up to 1 year instead of the 90 days. I also like their credit card which gives you 5% back! If you already know you're a regular customer for REI, why not! You'll also get higher cash back on full priced items too. Also just FYI they do not supply bags at check out! So bring your own bag to haul away your purchases!

I especially want to call out their very knowledgeable staff, who have a real understanding of client needs, price points, and athletics. These guys are pros in every sense of the word, and can help kit your kid (or you!) out without any problem. We've gotten everything from personalized ump gear to gloves, and I'm happy to pay (usually) competitive prices to get everything fitted properly, with a real person who's helping make sure the gear works for you. Parking is much easier at the new San Carlos locale than at the old Redwood city location. Highly recommended.

She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand what I was looking for. Kay had me try on a few different options and really focused on getting the right fit and comfort, rather than rushing the process. I appreciated how patient she was and how she explained the differences between the shoes. You can tell she genuinely cares about helping customers find the right pair. The store itself is clean, well organized, and has a great selection of running and walking shoes. I ended up leaving with a pair that feels great. Big thanks to Kay for the excellent service. If you're looking for running or walking shoes and want knowledgeable help, definitely check this place out.

I truly believe there should be a special "Customer Award" rating on Yelp for businesses like this…read moreone because they absolutely deserve it! To make my long story short: I recently bought a new car, and because of its unique design, nothing available on the market was compatible with it. On top of that, I also bought a new electric bike, but there was no way to "marry" the two together. Even the official dealer couldn't help, despite the vehicle being advertised as "towing compatible." My dream was to ride my new bike with my toddler everywhere possible, but it felt like that dream died when I kept hearing, "There is no compatible hitch." I almost lost hope. but these guys, the true wizards of what they do, worked their magic. Over the weekend, Joe made it his personal mission because he simply couldn't accept that a towing-ready vehicle had no hitch solution. He literally lost sleep researching online to find a way to help us. Two days later, we had a hitch, a rack, and perfect weather to finally go for a beach ride outside the city. Thank you so much to this amazing business for saving my dream and making it possible for us to enjoy our adventures together!
