My partner and I went to Pioneer Sports about an hour before closing on a Saturday to rent a…read moremountain bike for my very first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we walked in, our sales associate Michael was friendly, prompt to greet us, and genuinely interested in helping. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and never made me feel rushed or silly about my beginner questions, even though it was close to closing time. Since it was my first time mountain biking, he walked me through the differences between a full-suspension bike and a hardtail, let me try both, and helped me find the best fit. I ended up on a small women's hardtail, which fit me perfectly from their selection and was a much more beginner-friendly option. It was obvious that Michael wasn't just trying to rent me a bike--he was invested in making sure I had the right bike so my first mountain biking experience would be a great one. That level of customer service really stood out. Thank you, Michael! We're locals, and this experience definitely earned our future business. We rode that day with a family member visiting from Oregon who is an avid mountain biker. She had rented a bike in Vail, and after comparing both the bikes and the prices, she said she wished she had rented from Pioneer Sports instead. 10/10 service and experience. If you're looking for a quality rental at a great price from people who genuinely care about getting you on the right bike, I highly recommend Pioneer Sports. I'll definitely be back!

On my ski trip to Breckenridge, decided to rent equipment from Pioneer Sports in Frisco because of…read morethe reasonable rental rates. I made my reservation online and paid for the equipment in advance. They have a variety of equipment options, I chose the performance ski package, but wasn't quite sure of the difference between packages other than price. The store was located in a strip mall and upon entering looked like a typical sporting goods store. When you make your way to the back of the store they have all the ski equipment. I was asked if I had a reservation which I provided my email. First, you walk up the steps on a platform where an employee measured my foot to determine ski boot size. When I tried the ski boots on, they were small so they gave me a larger size for comfort. Next step is to wait in line to pick up your skis and poles. The employee at the counter calls you in the order of boot measurement. This process was a bit time consuming and took approx an hour before it was my turn. They input information into a system and ask you some questions about how you ski, fast, experienced, beginner, etc and help you pick out the correct ski brand and length. My boots were very dirty and well used, but they did the job. The employee makes some adjustment to the skis to make sure your boots fit. The XX skis that I received performed well and I did not have any issues. Check in if the equipment was much more efficient and they just scanned a barcode on the equipment when we returned it and we left it in a pile and were good to go. Overall, I think you get what you pay for and this store offers functional ski equipment at a reasonable price. I do wish the process of getting the equipment had been a bit more efficient. The employees were very friendly and helped to make this equipment rental experience go smoothly.

I'm a long-time local in Summit County. I had an unusual, but relatively simple issue with my…read moree-bike. I only needed help figuring out how to pull the motor without damaging the frame, so that I could plug in a new wiring harness. I had already mostly disassembled it. I had previously visited three shops, all with great reputations. First place wouldn't even consider looking at it. Second was nicer but said they won't touch motors on e-bikes. Third tried a bit but didn't put much effort into it. But then, I got to Rebel Sports. Jack came out to my vehicle and looked at the bike while it was still on my rack. He said he'd be happy to give it a try. I unloaded the bike and brought it inside. It took some time, but he finally got the motor out. He replaced the wiring harness and put it all back together for me. He even helped tweak the adjustment on my derailleur to get it shifting better. The cost for the repair and help was exceptionally reasonable. Jack told me that he genuinely had fun figuring it out and that he enjoys working on niche projects. Also, while I was there, I heard the interactions between other staff members and customers (all from out of town). Their customer service is exemplary. I will be going back to Rebel Sports for all of my bike needs in the future and I'll specially be asking for Jack.

We've been visiting Rebel Sports almost every year since 2016, and one of the main reasons we keep…read morecoming back is because they're the only place that carries the adorable trike that our kids absolutely love riding. Unfortunately, this year's experience was extremely disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was lacking. There was only one person at the desk, and the interactions felt dry, impersonal, and unwelcoming. We were initially told the trike was not available to rent. Later, another employee outside said it actually was. After explaining that we've rented the same trike nearly every year, they finally agreed to let us rent it. About 30 minutes into our ride, the trike's brake suddenly snapped open on its own. There was no collision, no crash, no impact--nothing that would reasonably explain a mechanical failure. Because the brake no longer worked, my 12-year-old daughter had to manually roll the trike back for nearly two hours, completely ruining what was supposed to be a fun family bike day. What disappointed us even more was how the situation was handled when we returned. Instead of showing any empathy, apologizing for the equipment failure, or offering a discount or credit for the ruined rental, we were immediately blamed for damaging the brake. Any reasonable person would ask: how is a rider responsible for a brake mechanically coming apart without any accident or impact? Rather than standing behind their equipment, Rebel Sports chose to argue over a brake issue that appeared to require nothing more than a pair of pliers and a few seconds to reconnect. We had traveled all the way from Texas and were parked far away--otherwise, we likely could have fixed it ourselves. Eventually, I realized it simply wasn't worth continuing the argument. I was prepared to pay $10, $20, $50, $100--or even buy the trike outright--just to end the discussion and move on. The cost was never the issue. What bothered me was the principle. A minor mechanical problem exposed what felt like an unfair, unprofessional, and unethical approach to customer service. Rather than treating a loyal customer with understanding and goodwill, the focus was on assigning blame over what appeared to be an obvious equipment failure. We've always believed in supporting local, family-owned businesses, and that's exactly why we've continued coming back for nearly a decade. But supporting small businesses should never come at the expense of fairness, accountability, honesty, and respect for customers. This experience left us genuinely disappointed, and unless customer service and accountability improve, we'll have to reconsider returning after so many years of making Rebel Sports part of our family trips.

We absolutely loved this experience and will probably buy a bike after having so much fun with this activity. So about this business. They are a bike shop and you can sign up for a rental to ride a nice paved trail around the historical mining areas in Leadville. They were super nice and they provide you with a helmet, a map, and give you a quick tutorial of the bike before they send you on your way. Now before you decide to ride a bike in Leadville you definitely need to be prepared for the elevation and the up hill at times, but the views , the down hills, and history made it worth it ounce of sweat. This is a MUST DO when in Leadville. No better way to get to know this laid back mountain town.

This was incredibly useful information for two non-cyclist from Texas eager to get out for a joy-ride:) They also tipped us off to a store down the street, Common Threads, to purchase a lightweight backpack to carry our phones, water, and such. I found the perfect bag there for $13 AND a souvenir Colorado tube mask/scarf/hat combo which came in super handy against the heavy winds in some parts of the trail. **I learned recently that covering your ears can help prevent ear infections by preventing pollens and such from entering--makes a lot of sense! We signed waivers, paid the $25/day bike rental fee, were provided bikes, helmets, and a map and were on our way! The rental checkout and return process was quick and easy and great memories were made:) My only suggestions for improvement relate to the opportunity to sell some small, affordable, lightweight backpacks in-store (as awesome as it is to recommend neighboring businesses!) as well as the need for some bike maintenance on the rentals. My front tire was a bit low, handle grips kept slowly spinning--wouldn't stay in place, and I had some wiggling back in forth in my seat. Some of those things didn't become apparent until we were working our way over to the trail and we didn't want to delay our trip by turning back to request those things be checked or have to retrace our route as the streets were uphill and required some work. Also, it would have been super helpful to have kickstands on the bikes as we were interested in taking photos quite often along Mineral Belt Trail and found it challenging to coordinate that without kickstands. All-in-all, I would certainly recommend Cycles of Life for bike rentals (though maybe spend some time double-checking the bike before taking off) and would gladly recommend the business to friends.
