    My wife and I have gone to Traverse City twice this summer, and each time we've done our kayak rentals here.

    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.

A great bike shop isn't just about who has the coolest brands. However to some it might be so look no further, they carry Scott; tip of the spear in MountainBike technology. A great bike shop isn't about who has the best deal. If it were these guys would still be the best. A great bike shop is all about who provides the best service. When things don't run smoothly is where you see what a bike shop is all about. The shop's willingness to accommodate the customer is what separates the good from the bad. Steve at City Bike Shop went so far out of his way to assure that my bike buying experience was the best that I don't have room here to mention it all. The success of my family's Iceman weekend rested squarely in Steve's hands and he delivered (literally) on all counts. He even went as far as letting me borrow his personal Thule rack because I had an old one that shouldn't be used for a carbon frame. This is a company that can be trusted not to let you down when it becomes critical that things be done right. Hats off to Steve! You are a true champion.

Our friends were new to e-bikes and rusty bike riders and they loved the experience. Lunch was delivered to Shady Lame for us to enjoy once we arrived and our route was easily to follow.

    Staff was helpful and friendly and the rental part went well…read more Sadly, both bikes got flats. Flats can't always be helped, but the pic shows the condition of the tire on the bike. It was worn through which would contribute to flats. For $44 you should get a bike with tires that aren't past being worn out. They brought us replacements but we lost 1.5 hours waiting. In addition, the replacement they brought my wife was out of adjustment so the shifting didn't work well. Wouldn't shift to some gears as the derailleur was aligned off to one side so 4 of the shifting clicks were the same smallest cog. All in all, super nice folks and they did apologize and offer us a free water for the trouble. However, the flats and bike condition were disappointing. If it stopped there, I would give 2 stars and not be back, but after bringing it to his attention, the owner reached out to apologize and make it right even offering a free rental on another day. Every business will have an issue from time to time, but not every business takes care of the issue and makes things right. Given the quality folks running the business, I'll be back and I'd recommend them since, when there is an issue, they take care of it.
