Marcus is an all around awesome guy. He let us set up a tent to try it out and gave us a great price. It was a pleasure talking to him and playing with his pup. Definitely stopping in next time were in Bend.

Ive been going to the gear peddler since they opened Mike and crew run a great shop with labor for bike tune-ups ski tune-up snowboard and just about anything else you bring in there they know where to point you if they cant help you out. Always great prices

Always fair prices and constantly changing variety of sports gear. I enjoy browsing whenever I am near the store. Their in-house bike repair insures good function to used bicycles (and the quality is much higher than thrift stores).

Great service the few employees I have met are easy to talk to and makes it easy to ask a question without the fear of being judged which makes it comfortable.Plus being able to haggle with some used parts is always nice, sometimes you find a gem and get it for much much cheaper. Definitely suggest going too.

Went in looking for a nice commuting bike, the person helping me went through all the options that were best for what I was looking for. Set me up with a wonderful bike at a great price, and gave me a genuine assessment of its condition and how to maintain it. Incredible customer service, cannot recommend enough

Honest with top notch service. They said they were about a week out on my bike but if I dropped it off early they could possibly get to it sooner. Dropped it off early and two days later I got a phone call saying it was ready and the bill was lower that what they quoted me saying it didnt take them as long as they expected. Most shops would have still charged what the quoted price was and I as a consumer wouldnt have known any better. What an amazing and honest shop.

Highly recommend for the people, the gear, and the prices. The staff went above and beyond to get us set up with cross country ski gear, explaining everything and taking lots of time to help us. Go here.

This is my favorite shop in town. Super knowledgeable staff, friendly, and timely. They have better rates on consignment for items you sell, and don’t sell them at retail prices like the gear fix. Highly recommended place!

I wish these types of stores were everywhere!! Its like having a giant inventory of quality gear. You can come in and swap out your gear, get repairs done, sell your gear, buy gear, rent gear and place special orders. Awesome! Keep up the quality work guys!

Got a killer GT mountain bike from them 2 years ago for a great deal, and today I went in because I thought I needed a new road bike. Turns out I just needed to get a part swapped and now it fits and rides wonderfully again! Knowledgeable and friendly staff with great prices. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience here. I came in looking for a fix for a tag along adapter. They didnt have the part I needed, but also didnt send me away like the previous shop I went to. They came up with a creative solution to fix my adapter and helped with some other parts. They were also great with my five year old.

The people here at gear Peddler almost definitely family. Theres been times Ive walked in with a dollar or less in there more than happy to help me get my bike back on the road and then getting what I got to get done. My hat is off to the good people of our community

We recently purchased 2 new trail bicycles there, we were pleased with the knowledge and friendly service. The two guys helped my husband get the right size of frame and they made sure I found a good bike with upgraded shocks and weighed less than the frame I had thought was the right one. Even gave us 10% off helmets and bike accessories for buying 2 new bikes. They are excellent!

Review №27

The staff here went above and beyond to set me up with a solid set of wheels for my recently purchased, used road bike. Im new to the game - and they walked me through what I should be looking for in a wheelset, along with tire recommendations for Central Oregon conditions. I also appreciated that they were willing to install a compatible cassette for no additional charge. The Gear Peddler folks know their stuff, and relative to building a wheelset at other shops in town I spoke with, I figure I saved 3x what I could have paid elsewhere.

Review №29

There prices are pretty high for some beat used gear and when I tried to schedule a bike tune an old guy answered the phone and said it was first come first serve which seemed weird to me but I went with it and got there as soon as they opened and they acted like I was stupid for not having an appointment then an old guy came out from the back and said its first come first serve to make appointments F me right? The only reason this isnt a 1 star review is the prices on the bikes seem fair most of the time. I recommend checking out gear fix first then going to this place if they dont have it.

Staying in Bend for 3 months and got a used bike from them + plus accessories + skis and boots. Bike had some problems... took a few visits to get it all sorted out but running like a charm now and all work done for free! Staff is very helpful and responsive and they have a good selection of reasonably priced used bikes and snowsports equipment. I visited Hutchs and Repeat Performance but couldnt find any reasonably priced used bikes. Would recommend checking this place out.

Review №37

Very nice folks and great service, I love stores like these with odds and ends for cheap. Put my crash pad up for consignment for the local climbers to bag a cheap deal.Seems to be a bad review about customer service... probably because the reviewer doesnt understand these people love their job, and dont work at a Dennys. This store does a service recycling gear, and if it breaks after you buy it, learn to fix it rather than complain.

Great selection of gear for men and women. Unfortunately I was looking for snowshoes and they had 1 pair which was not a popular brand like MSR or Atlas. Seemed to have a large selection of ski gear.

Review №47

Nonexistent service and awful pricing. My brother and I walked in thinking we could score a decent deal on a used bike, but all we found were overpriced brand new bikes or overpriced vintage road bikes with rusted frames, torn bar tape (at least replace the tape!), and cracking tires (certainly not worth the $250+ price tags). They seem to have a decent selection of other sporting related stuff (I was really only there for the bikes) but we were in there looking around for five minutes and the guy at the counter didnt acknowledge us once. If youre thinking of going here, check out all the other awful reviews of this place and save your time.

Review №53

I have had nothing but an awesome experience here, so much so that i am actually sitting here taking the time to give a good review to those who have earned it. I walked in with three broken bikes and talked the mechanics ear off forever. He remained helpful and kind despite me asking him a trillion questions. Its rare to find that patience in the bike industry if you know what i mean. He proceeded to help fix the bikes with what he had there free of charge (not huge issues). I spent a lot of time there being your typical asky customer, and the staff couldnt have been nicer or more helpful. I am a serious bicycle commuter, and I support this place 110%.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! BUYER BEWARE! Have been to this store quite a few times before but will never be going back again after our horrible experience. My Fiance was looking for a mountain bike and finally found one in the shop for $1,300. They said they looked it over and was a med-level bike (it was a KHS carbon fiber full suspension mountain bike). They guy selling it said it was a great bike but nothing for going off 6 feet or more table tops or drops which was totally fine. We took it the next day out to Phils and was riding BENS (this is an easy trail!!) after riding for about 45 minutes my fiance rode hard up a steep hill and the frame of the bike totally snapped and broke and he crashed. We took it back to the shop right away and told them what happened. The bike mechanic working actually had some customer service and told us it was a unique situation and we would get something worked out after he talked to the owner and he would call the bike manufacturer and see if they could send a new frame. The next day the owner called and said they would do nothing because there were scratches on the bike and he had to take it off of something crazy (NO!) and the way he was talking when he was buying it he probably hit a 6 foot jump (the owner wasnt even present when he bought it & thats what the mechanic told him not todo). Plus it was our first time going out riding for the year and were not doing anything crazy or remotely that big. She (the owner) proceeded to yell at my fiance and told him the mechanic would not be doing anything to help. I get its a consignment shop but $1,300 is a lot of money to us and the bike totally broke in less than 1 hour of riding it and its a pretty unique situation when it most likely already had a crack in it. Not only did she basically call him a liar but was extremely rude and didnt have a minuscule of costumer service for the situation. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Gear Peddler rips off my 12-year-old son.My son recently bought a used bike from Gear Peddler in Bend and it fell apart within two weeks. Before we made the purchase we asked if the bike had been gone through and they stated the bike had been checked. We also asked “What if there is a problem after we purchase the bike?” and they responded that they would “take care of us.” When we brought the bike back because the crank was falling off (we already had to replace the handle grips) they refused to take the bike back and their idea of “taking care of us” was to pay them to fix it. I explained to them my son bought the bike with his own money and the manager was unapologetic and made comments like “what if you bought the bike on Craigslist?” I told him I was going to give him a bad review online and he said “he didn’t really care, it happens all of the time…. we have plenty of customers.” Absolutely no care about customer service. Avoid this place like the plague; I am sure there are other small companies in Bend that will give you the service you deserve. Obviously Craigslist is a better bet! Unfortunately my son got a lesson of “let the buyer beware.”
