My second (and last) visit to Omer and Bob's. The salesperson (both times) could not have been more…read morerude! First time I was appalled and left vowing never to return. After several years , wanting to shop local, I returned. The way I was greeted (not) and spoken to was worse than the first. Wish I had asked his name- curly dark hair and glasses. I can't understand how they're still in business. Certainly won't have my business!

Living a half hour away from the nearest full-service bicycle shop, hoping to box stores for my…read morecycling needs has been quite easy, but still, I would rather support local. So with four bicycles of different types in my garage needing supplies, I searched for something more on the small shop category and came up with Omer and Bob's. I was quite happy I made that decision. What is amazing is that being a 100-ski day yearly skier, Omer and Bob's had never been in my radar as a ski shop and yet, they started as a ski shop during the early days of Mick Jagger - (actually the shop opened in the same year as the Rolling Stone's first album). From its beginnings, it is now a full-activity sports shop, offering Nordic and Alpine ski, bicycling, sports shoe wear and running apparel. Despite its relatively modest footprint, it is well supplied with quality equipment. They carry all types or bicycle gear, electric bikes, racers, commuters, leisure, recumbent, you name it. And at reasonable prices that make this a great value. The staff is friendly and businesslike. I came in for replacement tubes for my four bicycles and they had everything I needed. And then I spent some time impulse-buying and looking over their selections. I will be definitely be coming over here again. On a side note, their main entrance is on the same block as the center of Lebanon, where the city has made the most superb decision to close down lanes of traffic to allow all fresco seating for several restaurants and improve the town's vibe. You can shop and then enjoy the downtown area.

We bought snowboard boots there about a month ago, and that experience was great. But what really…read moreset them apart was the service a month later to see if the boots could be refitted after some discomfort with their use. Randy took the time to really evaluate the needs of my daughter, the rider. He explained various reasons why her foot shape may cause pain and worked to expand the boots in certain spots. He took a lot of time to make sure the fit was just right.
