We booked the bike about a week in advance for a full day for $65, and it was ready for pickup when we arrived. The staff did a safety inspection and let us know that helmets are included with the rental and that we could return the bike to any Sports Basement location. My friend also asked if they could leave their backpack there, and the staff kept it behind the desk, which was really nice. The bike was in good condition! We rode it for 4-5 hours with no issues. A few things I wanted to point out - the seat was pretty narrow and hard, which made it uncomfortable to sit on. It had been a while since I last biked, so I'm not sure if I just need to wear padded shorts or if the seat wasn't the right fit for me. Another thing is that I couldn't sit in the front because the seat was too tall for me to comfortably reach the pedals, and there didn't seem to be an easy way to adjust the height. Lastly, it would've been nice to have a phone mount on the handlebar for navigation. We turned in the bike at the end of the day. Overall, the process was very smooth, the staff were friendly, and the rental was affordable. I would do it again, but I'd wear padded shorts next time :)

We went not completely sure which bike we wanted or the best fit. The staff working was very informative and spent a lot of time explaining options and tradeoffs. I appreciate they didn't just push us to the most expensive options. Rather, they took the time to understand his preferences and use for the bike and then made a few recommendations. They were very patient the entire time, letting him test ride multiple bikes until he found the perfect one. We had such a great experience that we went back to purchase a second bike later that evening!

I had to use a restroom so we were going to grab a coffee and use the bathroom since we had time before they opened. Someone (I'm assuming store manager) started accosting us about it being only athleta parking and we aren't allowed to be there. There was plenty of street parking we could have parked at but we were gonna shop there after. (They aren't even opened yet). So we moved the car to street parking right next to the parking lot to appease her demands. Anyway, you can clearly see I'm pregnant and needed to use the restroom very badly. Felt awkward to go back and give them the business. Needless to say the parking lot sheriff left a bad taste and this is why everyone shops online. Poor customer service.

Most of the times that I go into this store is because I have bought something online and I need to make a return. I have never had any issues returning any items. I plan my visits and come to the store on a weekday or really early on the weekend to avoid the crowds that gather here and also at the Great Mall. Prior to returning any of the items, I walk around the store to see if there is anything that I would like to purchase so I can stand in line once and return and/or purchase at the same time. Over the years I have bought things at this store. You can find some good deals, sometimes better than their online store, sometimes not. It just depends on when you make the purchase and if you are maximizing on their sales events. Does this store cause me to have some mild anxiety because it is always messy chaotic, yes. But, since I have business to take care of with my returns than I momentarily turn a blind eye and do what I have to do. I love the brand and want to continue purchasing and will continue to support if I dont have to worry about returns.

We went to return the items bought from online.I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage…read moreregarding a profoundly disturbing experience I had at your Columbia store located at Great Mall in Milpitas, CA. What should have been a routine return of a few online-purchased items quickly escalated into a humiliating, disrespectful, and frankly alarming incident that has left a lasting negative impression of the Columbia brand. Upon arriving at the store to process the return, the cashier was immediately rude and dismissive. Rather than assisting us courteously, he treated me with suspicion and hostility, as though I were attempting something fraudulent. Without offering any explanation, he called over additional staff to inspect the return -- making me feel publicly scrutinized and accused, without cause. The situation worsened dramatically when the store manager, who identified himself as Donovan, got involved. His behavior was shockingly unprofessional and disrespectful. When we asked for clarification about why we were being treated so poorly, he claimed--incorrectly--that we were attempting to return more than 10 items, which was simply not true. He then demanded to inspect my phone to verify the credit card used for the online purchase. While I cooperated in good faith to resolve the situation, he proceeded to browse through private sections of my phone, including my account information and unrelated order history, without my permission. When I objected to this blatant invasion of privacy, his response was dismissive and increasingly hostile. When I rightfully asked for an apology for the incorrect accusation and invasive behavior, he escalated the situation further by threatening to call mall security to remove us from the store, effectively weaponizing his position rather than resolving the matter professionally. He also declared that he could refuse service at will, regardless of company policy or customer rights. He then flatly denied the return without legitimate grounds. This incident was not only humiliating and disrespectful -- it was a violation of basic customer rights and personal privacy. We have never been treated in such an aggressive and unethical manner by any retail staff in our lives. The conduct displayed by both the cashier and the manager was hostile, unprofessional, and deeply damaging to the Columbia brand. We have filed a formal complaint with Columbia's corporate office (Case #000552987), but I feel it is important to stress the severity of this matter. If this is how customers are treated for simply making a return, I can no longer in good conscience support or recommend Columbia products.
