It was a slow day and they were going to close early, but the friendly and helpful guy renting us…read moreour bikes figured out a way we could stay out past closing and return the bikes safely and easily. A real hero that guy, too bad I didn't catch his name. Anyway, rental was simple, the gear was very good quality, no attitude or space cadet vibes, just a great and easy process from start to finish.

The perfect place to rent a kayak in TC! I had never kayaked before and my husband had only kayaked…read moreonce before when he was a kid. The younger guy who was working was very patient with us and took the time to explain things (and helped calm my nerves). He did a great job telling us where to kayak to and helped us get into the water. An hour rental was plenty for us newbies and we had an absolute blast out on the water. This is a great place for newer kayakers to rent from and I cannot wait to stop by again the next time we are in town!

The staffperson working yesterday (Sunday) was very nice, but the rental bikes were not in good…read morecondition. My wife and I each rented hybrids, and it took me several tries to find a bike that seemed functional. Multiple had loose front wheels that wouldn't tighten, but after a few attempts the attendant was able to get one tightened. Sizing and fitting aren't really part of the process -- this was more of a "just pick whatever bike you want" situation. Soon after we left, I realized that my tires were underinflated, so we had to go back for air. And midway through our ride, huffing and puffing to maintain speed, we realized that most of the brakes were rubbing -- both wheels on my bike, and the front wheel on my wife's. At $40 for a half day per bike, this was a disappointing experience. If you're looking for a rental bike to bum around for a few hours, this might be fine, but if you want to go for a real ride I'd recommend renting elsewhere, or making sure that River Outfitters improves their maintenance practices.

Hotel Indigo rented out our bikes to some of their guests so they were gone when we came downstairs. It was the last night of our trip and so we couldn't get the bikes back from the hotel to return them. The hotel said they would drop them off and didn't. The River Outfitters actually went to the hotel and retrieved the bikes for us and didn't charge us anything for going over time or the inconvenience after hearing our story. They were super understanding! I wish more companies would treat their customers like this.
