Great deals on high quality used outdoor gear and a great place to consign or donate your old gear when your done with it.They have a full service bike shop with some of the best mechanics in town and the bike shop side (The Pedal Station) supports the local nonprofit Kids on Bike by providing resources to get more kids riding as well as getting bikes to kids with in underserved communities. All around great deals for a great cause and if you geek out on old bike stuff like I do you’re bound to find some gems.

Awesome place with more neat stuff than I could buy! Staff were super helpful and the prices were well in range. We went in to see if they had a cargo trailer for sale but I missed it by a day. One of the guys said he might have one at home he would sell me and bring it tomorrow so fingers crossed! No matter what its going to be my go to place for my gear. Thanks guys, yall roxx!

I like their bike shop and community vibe. If you have some old gear or are looking for something for the winter months, Id definitely check them out. They even have skis and snowboards.

Staff was awesome and knowledgeable on fitting a bicycle for my daughter. Their selection was great and recommend this shop for anyone looking for a bike. We are happy on our purchase and the support they give for charity.

The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me pick the right gear for my level of experience rather than the most expensive gear, and made sure that I knew the pros and cons of each option.Theyve got a great selection of inexpensive new items like freeze-dried meals, utensils, and cookware for backpacking. They also have great quality used backpacks, stuff sacks, clothing, shoes, skis, and climbing gear.10/10 the first place l go to look for gear.

What a great place! We got a bike for my five year old and a like new Prana jacket. Score!

Really great prices and very helpful and knowledgeable!

Our 1st time there, we met a wonderful sale person Patricia who knew their product line. She was completely transparent and didn’t try to over sell us. We were looking for a hiking backpack I was clueless. She gave us space at 1st to pick one out, and then kindly came over and gave us more than just the basics but details into best practices including Marino wool! She was OUSOME!

My favorite outdoor gear shop.

Dont bother, they are too woke

Great customer service and effort to keep customers satisfied. Appreciate the knowledge and experience within the store. Glad I found this little gem of a store.

Loved MER before they changed owners. Love the new location on Bott Ave!

Great shop! Friendly and helpful! For used gear everything was in good condition and fairly priced.

Got our boards and boots here. Super friendly staff that helped in getting the right sizes for us beginners. Highly recommend!

Great place & staff!

We went there to get snowboard stuff for the family. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The prices there were incredible and its all the better knowing its a nonprofit veteran owned organization. Definately going back!

Best place to get great used ski and snowboard equipment at the right prices!

I love MER. Always helpful and they have reasonable prices. A great place to buy slightly used or used gear.

Nice little shop for new and used outdoor gear. Hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and camping. Friendly staff willing to help you out with any questions you may have. I will definitely be back.

Definitely the place to go to get started in the outdoor world and not spend a ton of $$!

We came here to purchase some bikes this weekend and Ryan was extremely helpful throughout the process. He spent a lot of time assessing our needs and what we were looking for, and helped us find bikes that fit well for for our sizes and wants. This company also does a lot of great things for the community. I would recommend MER for all of your outdoor gear/clothing needs!

Wow! Surprisingly awesome shop! Owners are so friendly and arent too busy to chat. Such a wide variety of sports equipment covered here and the net profits all go to local charities! They have everything from biking, to hiking, to snowboarding and skiing, to camping, and even snowshoeing! The prices on a lot of the merchandise are incredible! Some stuff is full price, but the deals that are mixed in are well worth the hunt. Id definitely recommend this store to anyone who is curious about the outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer!

Cute store, decent selection, and decent prices. Someone recommended this place, and so I stopped by. Some equipment is used and some is new.They dont have as big of a selection as other larger stores, but having some used items for sale helps make this stuff more affordable.I felt welcome, and the employees were friendly. A few people stopped to see if I needed help while browsing and everyone was happy and smiling. It helps to feel welcome at a place, and I will definitely come back here!

Super friendly staff. Nice selection of ALL outdoor activities. I will definitely be doing future business here!

A pretty awesome and friendly staff. A good place to go for outdoor gear!Also, I finally took advantage of “bench time” where you can work on your bike. The staff has taught me so many things and this is such an awesome opportunity that I highly recommend.

Large selection and very helpful staff

I had an awesome experience buying a bike from this store. The guys working he bike part of the store were extremely accommodating, and everyone I talked with in the store was very kind and more than willing to work with me. I love the non-profit that theyve tied into selling bikes from their store- they do a lot for the communtiy, especially the kids. Their prices are great! Bikes are only a portion of what they do, too- you can find plenty of other outdoor gear in this awesome shop.

First, they have great stuff. I got cross country gear for the whole family and then when my kids grew out of their stuff, we came back and upgraded everything.Second, What a great place to support!! We need more places doing good works locally. Thank You and keep up the great work!!

Amazing prices! These guys are really helpful and knowledgeable. Will always buy my gear here. Best used equipment store I’ve ever been to. Always trust that I’m getting a great deal here and that the gear has been checked and tested.

OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! The employees are super helpful and assisted me with everything I needed. I was unable to attend the sale event and an employee gave me the discount the day before hand! I absolutely recommend this store to anyone looking for secondhand or new outdoor equipment!!!

The staff is very helpful and the prices are great

Very nice assortment of gently used and new old stock outdoor equipment and clothing. Organization is good, but felt cluttered. Very knowledgable and friendly staff. Great prices!

Went here today for some ski boots, wow this place rocks! Friendly staff worked hard for 20 minutes to find boots that fit perfectly at a fantastic price! Even traded in other boots that didnt fit anymore for credit towards the right ones. Prices so good we bought some accessories. Will definitely be back, our new one and only shop for ski & snowboard equipment. Highly recommend!

This place is awesome! I cant believe how great some of their deals are. They also have an incredible, helpful, and caring staff. Nothing but great support and great people. Ill be shopping here for years to come.

I always buy my kids bikes here. They always have good quality bikes to chose from for an affordable price.The little Chihuahua did a great job of keeping my youngest entertained while the rest of us shopped.

What a gem! All of my favorite outdoor brands in good condition and at a fraction of the price... there are some incredible deals to be had. Very friendly and helpful staff was able to direct me to exactly what I needed (and more). Thank you!

If youre looking for gear or equipment, give this place a chance to blow your mind. Gently used gear for a fraction of the dollars of new is the name of the game here. Theyve got the staff to get you pointed in the right direction, to boot. Just make sure you lock your vehicle. Ive never had any problems while stopped there, but down the street I got a bunch of stuff stolen out of my car.

Great selection of used skis. Really knowledgeable salesman, didnt give us a hard press on buying. We did end up buying one of the most expensive pair they had, but they are great - and at a great price. Highly recommended.

The staff is helpful and knowledgeable on equipment. I bought my first road bike. Its sweet! I cant recommend this store and their mission enough.

I could easily spend $100 every time I go. Awesome prices on used equipment and a lot of product in store. If you need some gear, stop in this place first.

Amazing place with knowledgeable staff and great prices. Making cycling and outdoor adventuring accessible to a wider audience. I bought a bike today and will definitely be back!

We came down from the mountains to find gear for our daughter and they were so friendly and helpful ! Will definitely be back.

Great place with awesome people. They ended up cancelling my transaction for me. This was after allowing to repair my chain in store. They were non judgemental friendly and courteous. Even though they did not have the part I needed their customer service even to a BMX guy was exceptional. Will definitely go back there to spend my hard earned money.

Best bike / sporting goods shop in town. Very friendly and knowledge staff that truly care about helping you. Great deals on top shelf equipment. Great community feel.

The selection of packs is amazing, everything is super high quality for an awesome price. We’ll definitely be stocking up here before our next big trip.

Got some ski gear here but they also have a variety of other gear both new and used, with an emphasis on ski/snowboard stuff. Nice to be able to look through the used stuff versus guessing on eBay, say.

Friendly staff, great prices, amazing gear. Ive bought everything from snow spikes to a climbing rope from MER, and havent had a problem with any of it. For a city saturated with outdoor gear, MER provides a place to find discounted, quality products and be offered coffee on the way in the door.10/10

Great prices, good selection. Tons of kids stuff. Ill be shopping here for all my gear from now on.

I used to come here when it was just the two founders. You could get a good deal on used equipment. Now it is highly commercialized. Ive been coming in here since year one and these people dont know me. Followed me around the store since I was wearing my backpack (I commute to work on my motorcycle and carry my office -computer-data drives- peripherals- etc) and I had to entrust six grand worth of tech to the glaring woman when I wanted to try on a pair of Kuhl pants and a shirt. Never again. I bring a lot of my friends here but guess well just go to Gearonimo from now on. You guys lost your spirit and sold out.EDIT: I looked at the storefront and nothing is posted about a policy to leave bags up front. No one verbally announced this policy. No such policy was posted. The nervous older counter people just followed me around the store. I understand the store is in a very bad location next to the homeless shelter, but I am a regular. WAS a regular. If your staff wanted to talk to me in person they had their chance when I was there. You insulted a longtime loyal customer and there is no coming back from that.

This place is AWESOME, got tons of high quality second and first hand equipment at prices even I can affords haha!!! Happen to find some Keens in my size for $20 then got 25% off for small business saturday!! love this social impact business, keep it up!!

Reasonably priced used outdoor gear. Great selection. Ive found some great deals here. The staff is exceptional.

Ive both bought and sold here. Friendly and knowledgeable folks; you can occasionally find a real steal at out of season sales. If youre selling, you may get more online; the trade off is price for convenience.

Very nice staff and reasonably priced consignment gear. Highly recommend

Every time I go there, whether I end up buying or if Im just poking around, the team that works here is:1. Friendly2. Helpful3. KnowledgeableFor me, I hate giving money to business that are not those things, and they seem to be around in abundance.Their inventory is rockin too. You can bring in your mountain gear for consignment and get some $$$ for it or you can choose to donate the money to an outdoor cause.Its a great place for Colorado Springs, for those who like awesome used stuff for doing awesome outdoor stuff.

I met the owners Mike & Julie when they opened, super people. Their big idea about recycling good outdoor gear and helping charitable causes has really taken off! Shopping their big selection of outdoor boots, shoes, clothes, bikes, backpacking gear is part of my routine, now I can do it online. Today I own several jackets, shirts and shoes from MER, they have my pack on their wall, and I have my eye on a puffy jacket there.

Amazing! REI meets Goodwill! In my wildest dreams I never thought such a store existed.

Great people. Selection was great and at an extremely fair price. Was very helpful and did not feel pressured to buy anything that I felt like I didnt need. 10/10 will shop here again.

You HAVE to stop in here before shopping anywhere else! First class service, amazing like-new gear, and prices that literally cant be found anywhere else...even on LetGo! I tried REI, Bicycle Village, Dicks, and even a few local shops and they just didnt seem to carry any road bikes for under 6-7 hundred bucks. But then I found MER and I am so happy I did! I just picked up a like-new Trek road bike that was somewhere north of $700 for only $250! THEN they threw in a gracious military discount which brought it down to $243 after tax. I am ecstatic with my purchase but more grateful knowing that a business like this exists. Brian, youre the man! Thanks for explaining everything about bikes to a noobie like me, Ill DEFINITELY be returning here in the future!

First time in, Ryan and Gretchen were fantastic. Will definitely be back!

Great place to shop for new and recycled gear. This group does a lot for the community. Volunteer, philanthropic, recycling. Help many get bikes,bikes,skis, snow shoes and other gear.

We go skiing every winter and this place is very affordable. We just got some new skii pants and a skii jacket as we are a growing family. Love it!

Excellent selection...friendly, knowledge able start...great price es 😂

Accidentally found this place. Apparently been here 6 years. Great people. Great gear. Great prices.

Great people with good heart for helping the community and I got a new pair of hiking pants for only $5!

I stopped in on February 21st to purchase a star nut anchor for my bike. Three of the staff were courteous with the exception of the fourth guy that came from the back. Im not sure what his issue was but he took one look at my bike and of me and started telling me everything wrong with it, including my not having a star nut anchor. He then stated as rudely as possible it seemed like Im not working on that bike. I told him I wasnt there to have him work on it but he kept interrupting me with everything I said. I got a bit upset and decided to leave before saying something stupid. As I went to walk out he told me the only place that would do me any good was another bike shop a half mile away in such a condescending voice I really wanted to just smack the hell out of him. As I walked out the door I could hear the lady behind the counter tell him that was mean and if I heard his response correctly it was I dont care. Im far from perfect in any case but it seemed to me his attitude was really uncalled for and for whatever reason he had to be so rude I would just like to say this...if your attitude had anything at all to do with my attire or my bikes shortcomings then I will gladly give you my home address and we can discuss it like men, or rather I will while you rudely interupt. Its not a good thing to do in judging people by first appearances Mr. Bike Shop guy. I served my country 12 years with two deployments and got a bullet in my spine for it. I ride my bike to keep the slowly creeping paralysis at bay so the next time you want to be rude to someone please stop and think first because even in my physical condition that smirk you had yesterday would disappear extremely quickly. I will never step foot in your bike shop again even if you are the only retailer to carry what Im trying to find. Ive had this Google account for over 15 years and not once have I felt the need to write a review but thanks to your rudeness and discourteous treatment you earned this one. Have a great day at work bud, Im enjoying my retirement.😁Edit: Its showing me as Dem kidsdad but my name is John Selbus, just to be clear that Im not intentionally trying to hide my name. And one last thing, if my treatment was based off an assumption that I am homeless or that the bike I had with me was a stolen one then both are very wrong. I live less than a mile and a half from your shop in a house we have owned for 7 or so years and the bike I had is one Ive owned for about 3 years. The part I needed was damaged during a handlebar and neck swap. But thanks to the nice guys at Old Towne its now back to being my daily rider. Looks are very decieving as Ive spent over $400 in aftermarket parts for my bike. Ive been in your store more times than I have fingers and toes and my treatment was always respectful, until this visit....Needless to say, I will not be buying anymore parts there.

Great quality merchandise, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great place for equipment at good prices for all types of Colorado adventures.

Awesome customer service. Great equipment, excellent prices.

Easily the best place for quality gear. Great knowledgeable staff

Second time here. This place is amazing. Good vibes to and from.

Awesome store, portion of all sales are donated to various local non-profits, great prices on gently used sports equipment and clothing

Great deals and super friendly staff. They also give back and theres a lot to be said for that these days.

Quick and easy with a very helpful attendant. Loved the store and what they stand for!

I went here yesterday with two buddies to get some last minute things before a hiking trip. Ryan and Gretchen were the friendliest and most helpful individuals I have ever met at a gear shop. These people set the standard for customer service. From the time we walked into the door until the time we left, Ryan helped us find the items we needed, giving us advice and making sure we were good to go. When we had an obscure question that Ryan could not answer, Gretchen dropped everything she was doing and came over to help.We spent about a half hour in the store. There were about ten to fifteen other shoppers, but we were treated like we were the only people present.In regards to selection, they had everything we needed (trecking poles, microspikes, and a pack).Additionally, they gave us free cups of tea. It was just an all around great experience. Something you cant get at REI.

Very knowledgeable people in all aspects of the activities being sold there.And good prices

Excellent selection of used to lightly used outdoor gear at a fraction of retail store cost. Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Good prices for quality items- free coffee and nice employees!

Funky shop with used gear and a practical selection of new stuff, both bike and hike.

I have had great success selling my used gear here.
