When I called back 2 days later, I spoke with another employee who informed me that they were no longer shipping skis and saving them for sales in their retail store. I live a few hours outside of St. Cloud. I found this entire interaction to be pretty off-putting and don't appreciate the mixed information and "gate-keeping" of winter sports equipment. I feel like I was treated pretty poorly by these folks. Maybe if I was born in a different zip code I could buy some skis this season, eh? Seems fair.

We came here on a suggestion for skateboard/longboard. We've been to one other store and it was meh. Trevor was our stellar longboard master help this evening. He was SO knowledgeable and patient with us. We easily sucked up almost 2 hours of his time. He went above and beyond in my opinion for customer service. We walked out with a beautiful put together long board that my daughter felt great about as a beginner- wheel color & type, bearings, & truck color of her choice- all switched out by this cool dude- Free of charge for him to give her exactly what she wanted to boot! Plus all the tools and padding needed for her to get started with. The rest of this store...now I'll admit that I have t been in too many store like this but it seems to me they have a lot of great things to offer for multiple type of "sports". Frisbee golf, water sport, winter sports... They even carry some hats, fun gloves, backpacks, sunglasses, and even summer flip flops! We will definitely be back when Emma is ready to do some upgrading or need the bearings changed on her board. These guys rock!!!

Thanks Joes, now she enjoys shooting as much as I do and she can now outshoot me and has a permit to carry and keeps a gun on her or at least in her car. You set her up with a 380 but she likes a little bit larger handgun. And the prices are unbelievably low on new and used guns. she also let me buy a 44mag and she likes to soot that too. I have to keep telling her that we have enough guns! See that you started Joe's! She won't shop anywhere else for guns!

Let say its "urban" and instantly he rolled his eyes and got a attitude as if he just wanted me to leave.

So instead of buying 100$+ if ammo I thanked him for his lack of interest in my business and left. If u dont look "the part" u might be treated as a waste of time.

I did not find this size at bigger stores. I also like to mention I still buy this place two years ago to check a skateboard or longboard and they took their time explaining to me the difference and how it works. This was my second visit to the store and I was very pleased. Also, on the way out I noticed they have two electric bicycles: cool ones. The location also is very practical and close to uptown and the lakes. Paid street Street parking and affordable.

I'm married to a skate geezer who needed new grip tape for his long board. These guys got it done…read moreand were willing so close to closing time. The guy doing it had a broken arm and did a great job. He had to replace the screws which took awhile. I'm sure he thought I was a Biznitch wife extraordinare. I opted to wait in the car, ran in once for change after the meter parking technician gave me a look because we were expired, then ran in again to see how much longer it was going to be and walked back impatiently to the car. They have been around since 1988. Although it wasn't his cup of tea for a skate board shop,they had what he needed. J said that the guys were really nice and they probably were had I not been so impatient that night, I probably would have talked them up too. They asked J if I was mad because it was taking so long and I looked huffy, but I'm sure they get a lot of wives in there who get impatient waiting. J's reply, "nah she just looks mean". Giving it a 4 based on the end result of the long board, the guys were really great per J and the fact that they did it so close to closing time. I may have to return to experience more of it through my own eyes. What I did see warrants a 4.

Easy Riders Bicycle Shop is AWESOME! I live in Northern MN out in the country on gravel roads. I…read morehad been researching E-Bikes online but wanted to talk to someone in person. I was in Brainerd one day and found Easy Riders was close by. I talked to Chuck who is a FANTASTIC salesman, not pushy at all. He was very knowledgeable and listened to all my pre-requisites that I was looking for in an E-Bike. He was able to zero in on the Trek Allant 7+ that fit all of my needs. Especially, the tires that work with gravel roads. One of the modifications I made was to swap out the bike seat for the best one ever - the Cloud.Lastly, of course I needed a bike rack for EBikes and he showed me two possibilities. Being a woman, the first choice (although cheaper), just was bit too complicated for me. I purchased the fold-up Thune bike rack. Chuck was very thorough showing my husband and I how to mount and dismount the rack from the 2" receiver. We secured the Ebike and drove back up north and the Ebike didn't move an inch. My husband was very impressed that the rack with the bike easily fold down to access the back of the truck and lower the tailgate. The rack folded right up and with the wheels was easy to store in the garage.I have been able to take 2 rides on our back country roads; one a 4 mile and one an 8 mile and I wasn't all achy and sore because I had turbo assistance when climbing the hills. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my EBike! Thank you all at Easy Riders!! I will be sharing your website with my family and friends. Beth N

The relatively small storefront maintains a slew of new and used bikes for sale as well as the mountains of bikes he has awaiting repair. From maintenance on vintage Schwinns, fixies, odd electric shift internal hubs, and modern race bikes, Mr. Niedzielski has the competence to work on everything coming into his shop. His prices are more reasonable than most other shops in town. With him, you also have the consciousness knowing you're supporting local small businesses; rather than the corporate chains (Trek, Scheels, etc). I would highly recommend Rod's bike shop for your next purchase, tune up, or repair.
