We will match any price advertised in-store at any competitor (no online-only products).

SHIPPING (CONTINENTAL U.S.)

Free shipping over $99. Some exclusions for heavy items such as bike racks, bikes, trainers, and other oversized items. Charges calculated at checkout.

Sorry, but we do not ship outside of the Continental U.S.

IN-STORE PICKUP

In order to mitigate fraudulent transactions, please have your email confirmation of your purchase, your ID and the credit/debit card you used to make the payment. We will verify these items prior to releasing your purchase for pick up.

Most orders will be ready within one business day. Please keep in mind that some items may require additional processing time to transfer from off-site locations. Other items may require additional processing time for assembly. We will call or email you once your order is ready for pickup. If you need an item right away we ask that you call us to confirm that the product is available before heading over to our store. Unless special arrangements are made in advance, orders need to be picked up within 15 days or a 10% restocking fee will be charged.

INFORMATION SECURITY

We protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all of the information you provide to us and prevents outside parties from being able to "see" your transaction information. When your account information is displayed on your screen, we only display the last five digits of your credit card numbers. You also have the choice of whether or not to save credit card information with us in your Online Account.

BACKORDERS

Occasionally, some items are unexpectedly out of stock or unavailable and may be backordered. If this should occur, we will only bill your credit card for merchandise that is actually shipped. The total shipping charge for orders split into multiple shipments will not exceed the amount quoted on the original order.
