Second Avenue Sports

Roy was very knowledgeable and helpful with renting boots and skis. Location in town was convenient and on the way to Purgatory; returning equipment was a breeze. Definitely recommend!

Great people and excellent expert help I’ll never buy a bike anywhere else. The people are super friendly and have a vary wide selection for your needs.

Came into town last week looking for some help on road riding routes in the area, this was the only shop that actually had a map I could use. Shortly after picking up a map, I went on a recommended road route out to Wildcat Canyon and ended up with a broken spoke. Returned to the shop and they were very helpful in getting it fixed, they even texted me midday to let me know my bike was ready for pickup. I’d definitely recommend these guys. I even asked a local cyclist of all the shops I should take my bike to he didn’t hesitate to recommend this shop, and I’m glad I listened.

Great help from these guys trying to rent bikes to ride along the river. I rented three. They will tell you how to get the the amazing river trail. It’s about four miles in each direction.
It’s new and spacious inside, and lots of high end bikes and other outdoor gear. One bike was selling for $ 6,500.
The bikes for rental are in average condition only, but many of them to choose from.
Solid place to rent bikes on 2^nd street…

Just happened to walk in on the grand opening and got invited to drag race some bikes. Awesome event, awesome staff, and the new store looks amazing. Definitely a comfortable place to buy cycling gear. Some bike shops around here feel a little elitist, this shop makes you feel comfortable bringing in your $ 200 POS or if you just want to buy a cruiser. Also has the high end elite stuff though but they don’t throw it in your face. Would definitely buy gear here as well as a new bike.

i was road trippin’ out to CO to visit a buddy who lives in Durango, I knew I wanted to ride, and knew I didn’t want to ride someone else’s bike, so I threw mine up on the roof and headed out.
Somewhere along the 11 hour drive my rear brake decided that it didn’t want to be a part of the fun. I got the bike down in Durango, and the lever pulled all the way to the bar.
I called these guys and explained the problem, they told me that they might be able to check it out, but that their service dept was super full so they probably wouldn’t be able to get to it.
I got to the shop once again explained the problem, and I think they could tell I just really needed to ride.
They agreed to knock out the work, and in under an hour no less.
Having run several shops, I understand what walk ins can be like, and want to express my thanks to these guys for getting my bike ready in time, and recommending some sick local trails to ride.
They were right on the mark w/​both – the brake feels amazing, and the trails had me smiling ear to ear the entire time.
I went over the the local liquor store to grab them some beers as a thank you, and the owner told me they really enjoyed anything from SKA brewing.
So, if you’re ever in Durango, and need an awesome shop to knock some emergency work out on your bike… go to 2^nd Ave… also bring some SKA.
Thanks again guys.

after multiple bad experiences, I know never to give these guys business again. don’t ever rent anything here, don’t bring anything in for maintenance, and don’t even try to ask them questions. bad attitudes, lack of attention to details (including basic safety measures), and bad prices.
why you should not rent anything here:
first off, called in to make a rental reservation– the guy on the phone tells me to hang up and book online– whatever. booked online and so they call to leave a VM saying i have to call them back to finalize booking… so i call to finalize booking and the guy that answers acts like i’m stupid for calling in for this– he says, «just come in tomorrow and we’ll take care of it.» i go in there the next day to pick up my rental and they say its not ready because i didn’t call in!!! WTF? so it takes another 15 minute wait for them to get a bike out, and a simple question on what pedals i wanted leads to a 5 minute diatribe of why i am so stupid for asking about these pedals– FYI Mr. Blonde Dreadlocks– you can be informative without being so condescending. after this diatribe, he gives the bike over for a test drive and after riding 5 feet i quickly realize he didn’t even latch the front tire on the fork! so clearly, i will never be back to rent anything here. bad attitudes, lack of basic safety protocol– complete lack of communication– how are you still in business?
why you shouldn’t get any kind of maintenance done here:
back to the poor attitudes– both times i brought them business for simple bike maintenance they have gone out of their way to make me feel stupid. don’t ask them anything, or they will take the opportunity to condescend. i’m not a professional, and i didn’t spend $ 5k on one of your new bikes, i get it. this doesn’t mean that i don’t know at least a little about what i’m talking about after biking for 20+ years. all i wanted was a dérailleur tune up and they still took any opportunity presented to bash me and my bike. second experience was trying to get my rear shock rebuilt and basically getting laughed out of the store because this shock is «so old.» it is 5 years old and they act like it’s stone age equipment. i don’t need your bad attitudes and i won’t be back for any kind of parts of service. i wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.
so in short, i would not even consider this place for anything. i shouldn’t have given them a second chance after the first bad experience, and they’ve proved time and again that they don’t need my business. take your money somewhere that it’s welcome, because there’s plenty of options in Durango and they definitely don’t need you around bothering them with business. get over yourselves, 2^nd Ave Sports. you’re not that great.

These guys (and gals) are great. Professional yet friendly service and excellent knowledge of gear without the arrogant attitude that you will find at many other durango sports shops. I go out of my way to shop there, just to support a business that combines expertise and selection without having to deal with the ‘gnarlier than thou’ attitude.

Great local bike shop. Jason (sorry, maybe Justin) helped us rent high-​end mountain bikes for the week — he was knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful, and not condescending! That last one is a rarity in bike shops. Overall best bike shop experience I’ve ever had. You’ve got a friend in Chicago if you guys ever need anything.

Came into town and needed some stuff for the bike, so we hit up this place based on Unilocal reviews. The guy (with a mustache) that initially helped us was great! Very nice and engaging. Unfortunately, one of the things we purchased was not a correct fit. The first guy that helped us told us that it was the correct part. This mistake has been made by other bike shops in the past. No biggie. So, when trying to return this part the next day a guy with black hair helped us. He couldn’t have been a bigger a$$. In a very condescending manner he told us it would have been nice if we would have known the correct part in the first place (while he stuffed food into his face at the register). He threw the part down on the counter in disgust and refunded the part. Yes, working in a tourist trap of a town does suck, I know! But, he could have chose a better way to handle a situation. Would have easily given this store 5 stars if it weren’t for this pr$$k.

I found 2^nd Ave to be a great shop. They have high end rental bikes and a friendly, knowledgeable staff that are solid ambassadors for Durango’s trails. Huge selection of softgoods as well. Overall, a rad bike shop in a rad bike town.

This is more of a bike shop than a sports shop. Their selection of high end cruisers is the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been in a lot of bike shops. The sales help is very well informed. Awesome shop.
