$15 for $30 Worth of Sports Gear, Apparel, Rentals, and Repair Services

The selection of outdoor apparel and gear includes Icebreaker hiking socks ($17.99), Patagonia lined beanies ($39), and The North Face Verto 26 packs ($79). Staffers rent out bikes ($25–$100/day), as well as ski packages for adults ($15 for one day, $10 each additional day) and kids ($10 for one day, $5 for each additional day), snowboards ($10/day), and adult snowshoes ($14 for one day, $8 for each additional day). In addition, they can adjust bike brakes ($10/set), repair tennis rackets ($20 plus the cost of strings), and tune up skis and snowboards ($35).

Lombardi Sports

The upbeat employees at Lombardi Sports actively participate in the same athletic pursuits for which they sell and repair gear and apparel. Customers who visit the sprawling, 50,000-square-foot sporting-goods store benefit from the staff's rich supply of first-person training insights and anecdotes about hiking, running, swimming, and other sports. As a hive for sporting wisdom, the store boasts attractions such as live tennis demos as well as camping-supply rentals that come with the sales team's recommendations for enhancing camping fun with bear-proof food coolers and extradurable bear-tickling sticks.

A community staple since 1948, Lombardi Sports began as a somewhat smaller purveyor of biking, skiing, and camping equipment. Still owned by its originators, the store's enduring success has enabled its involvement with local charitable causes, proudly supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure's efforts to eradicate breast cancer as well as the work of Team in Training, an organization dedicated to curing leukemia and lymphoma.

The Groupon Guide to: the Flip Side

Many people just assume that everything they read is true without ever looking at the counter argument. Take a look at the flip side of some of these “universal truths”:

Universal Truth: Lying is bad.
The Flip Side: What about lying to save someone’s life? If your child wants to leave the house, but you know that the world is a place full of danger, is it wrong to lie and say there’s nothing out there?

Universal Truth: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The Flip Side: Do nothing unto others. You don’t know where others have been. Others could have been playing in the toilet.

Universal Truth: The earth orbits the sun.
The Flip Side: Our planet is just a big rubber ball that a giant baby is playing with, and the sun is a night-light in the baby’s bedroom. Other planets are the baby’s other toys. Gravity is the baby’s hands.

Universal Truth: Don’t bring electronics with you into the bathtub.
The Flip Side: What if your phone is in a plastic bag? Would it still electrocute you? Would it?

What should we do unto others?

  • Really great bike repair shop, super nice staff, and VERY helpful. Having never gone here before, I was really surprised and pleased.

  • What an outstanding bike shop experience! I would so rather get my butt across the bay to deal with professionals than deal with local attitude.
