The Hub Bike Shop

Stopped by to check it out. Girl behind the counter very knowledgable and friendly. Weird mix of bikes in that I wasn’t sure which were rentals and which were for sale. A load of various mountain bikes (if that’s your thing) but only a few beach cruisers (my fav) that all had a layer of dust on them. A few Surly fat tires, but they all appeared to be rentals. Good selection of off road tires & a bunch of various accessories. Guy behind the counter wrenching. This is the only true bike shop in the area as the others are «sporting goods» stores with bikes. Good selection of rentals. Rafts, SUP’s and supplies if rafting is your thing. Some cool long boards and GoPro stuff as well. The employees seem to be advocates for an organized trail system, so I will spend my $$ here in support of the local efforts!

We hired a Stand Up Paddle Board & a Kayak for 1 day. We were a bit upset that the shop didn’t open earlier so we could make the most of our 24 hour hire, we’re early riser’s and had other things that we’d planned on doing as well as boarding.
My husband explained to them that we had a rafting trip booked the next day & it started before their shop opened. We didn’t want to just hire from 9am — 5pm and they didn’t do half day hire’s of the Kayak anyway, so they offered to meet us at 7.45am to return the gear & still get to the Rafting on time. That was really cool of them.
The equipment was in pretty good condition, & our straps were not long enough to tie them down so they let us borrow some of theirs. Considering it was only $ 100 for both pieces, it was a pretty good deal, but next time we’ll either try to pick up the stuff just before they close so we can get some great early mornings in the reservoirs or not book a rafting trip for the next morning!
