Used to think it was just the "poor college kid" treatment but even as middle aged person they still give you the you should appreciate us approach. A decent selection of outdoor clothing, a much smaller selection of ski boots and ski than I recall. They also resell LL Bean items. Footwear associates were quick to offer assistance. When checking out, be prepared to pay a premium to the local shopping experience and the tacky "who assisted you?" obviously for a commission credit is uncomfortable!

They have a great selection of outdoor clothes, packs, camping equipment, and shoes in lots of different styles and colors-- the Cotopaxi gear is especially eye-catching. Both times I've been in the staff has been incredibly helpful. A salesperson helped me pick out a great pair of Salomon hiking boots last year, and a pair of "On"running shoes most recently. The running shoes they carry are mostly for trail running, but an employee helped me find a pair of street running shoes that were just what I was looking for. Plus, they have a bunch of cool outdoor games for sale, like frisbees, cards and hacky sacks. Overall, I look forward to stopping in at AO whenever I need new gear!

I am a recreational biker who wanted to find a good road bike at a good price to replace my current…read moreone. I visited local bike shops; I searched the net all in a bid to find a top bike at a good price. I quickly find out this task was not as easy as I thought as some shops were using some deceptive business practices. They would tease out a low price as a bait and switch tactic or to upsell. So, finally I came across Two Brothers Bicycle Company. They met my two requirements. They advertised the bike I was looking for on sale at the most competitive price around, but they were 200 miles away literally, in another state. Not knowing much about the company, and a little bit apprehensive, I reviewed their site. They looked legit. So, I decided to purchase the bike from them. They did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded my expectations. Two Brothers Bicycle Company expertly put the bike together in no time, wrapped it tightly and shipped it across the state line. There was no interminably long wait, no beating around the bush, no excuses. The bike arrived so fast that it seemed like a dream. But I just ordered it, I thought. Two Brothers Bicycle Co. did a good job packaging the bike tightly so it arrived safely. The bike arrived in a big box. I thought it was going to be heavy, but it was light about 10-20 pounds. I am not mechanically gifted, but it in less than 30 minutes I was able to unbox and put the bike together. I then performed a pre-ride safety check to made sure the bike was road ready. I took a couple of rides of varying length and levels of difficulty. The fit and seat were comfortable - Check 1. The bike shifted swiftly and smoothly - Check 2. The brakes worked well, no squeaking - Check 3. Two Brothers Bicycle Company delivered on their promise. No tricks, no bait and switch, just a good bike at a good price. What I like about the company is their professional attitude. They don't care whether you're local, national or international, black or white, if you want a good bike at a good price, just check us out, we have one for you. I find them to be highly competent; an honest, reputable company that makes it a pleasure to do business with them. Even though I was miles away from them, they made it a breeze to purchase a bike from them. Now on to those long rides I've been wanting to take. Thank you for Two Brothers Bicycle Company for a great bike at a great price.

Would you have the knowledge offered, polite service and 100% awesome experience in another shop? Only if you were in their second location in State College. Great place. Be prepared for a little sticker shock if you haven't priced bikes for a while. But if you seriously want all the things I spoke about above, this is your stop.
