The "WASHROOM" as it's called over here was clean. There's a large selection of everything you could possibly need for camping, biking, hiking and backpacking. It is an interesting place to visit and browse. My husband is very interested in cycling. He got on the demo Tacx bike which generates power and is an interactive game which you ride in competitions in famous locations like Central Park. As my husband rode a crowd gathered to watch and cheer. He was riding hard, shifting gears and working up a sweat!! He was not in his riding outfit or clip on shoes, but he rode quite a distance and was ready to buy if we weren't so far from home. The price is a huge factor. Our son briefly tried out the Tacx bike and thought it was awesome.

Sitka was established in 2002 and now features a nice selection of men's and women's clothing, a…read moreskateboard line and a full quiver of surfboards to stand up to any condition. The name Sitka itself derives from the mighty Sitka Spruce, a tree naturally drawn to the rugged shorelines of Western Canada and Alaska. Gayle's first reaction when we walked in was - "Aren't we a little "old" for this place?" Actually we are, but it was the wood-enhanced architecture within this historic building and something inside that screamed Portlandia! that drew me in. It's a nice little shop and worth a visit if you want to hang ten, or drop even more than that in Loonies.

The guy who works there is extremely knowledgeable and will help answer all your questions and find a bike that's right for you and your needs. They also let you put your kids in the bike and ride it around the block, which is really nice, given these bikes can get expensive, being able to try it out is so key. I don't know of another place even close to these guys in BC in terms of the breadth of different brands/bicycles stocked in this particular market segment. If you've even toyed with the idea of getting a bike like this, just swing by this place. You won't regret it. They also have a store in Victoria and I'm sure it's just as great because it's the same guy who commutes up and back between the 2 stores with half the week in Vancouver and half in Victoria.
