I only had a very short experience with this lovely shop, but I was really impressed with the amazing service I received. I will definitely be back to check out more of the shop when I am in the area.

If you are familiar with REI in the US, this is a very similar company. However, you don't get money back for your membership fee (still only $5 at MEC, but price has gone up at REI) like you do at REI. I would prefer the REI system, actually,…More »

Update - 1/3/2011

Holy hell this store is getting popular. And not in a good way. Prices have gone up, and items I bought last year for $20 are now $30. For the same damn thing in the same colour. Their sale events don't actually change the price of anything put…More »

I just took my bike in to get some new pedals, shoes and a trip computer. These guys were great, and sponsor the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer. The prices weren't as high as I was expecting for a small LBS and the staff are very knowledgeable. I tend to…More »

Recently updated lists from Kat S.

Cheap, Reliable Eats in the Lower Mainland (15) Where to go when you are hungry, but don't want to blow your budget.	Yelp Love (27) The reasons I love Yelp: UYEs, CMYEs, and Elite/Community Events
Time for Thai (9) Where I go for that Thai Iced Tea fix, or some hot curry action.	Main Street Favourites (15) A weekend stroll along Main Street usually has me visiting several of these favourites.
Count 'em! (8) What's in a name? Is it numerology or simply something catchy? Places with numbers in the name.	Bathrooms to Avoid (11) Hold it if you can. Otherwise, be prepared. Not all of these are horrific, some just are small and cramped and have only one room, so be prepared to wait.
Treat Yourself (8) Nice and swanky places to treat yourself and/or someone special.	Rockstar Of The Day (9) My Review of the Day posts!
Lunch in Marpole (8) Where to fill that void in your belly in Marpole at lunch time.	Vegetarian Friendly Options (21) Want a place you can eat without having to order a boring salad? Enjoy one of these options.
