REI in Bloomington at 750 American Boulevard West pairs the co-op’s full outdoor retail offering with a dedicated bike shop serving south-metro cyclists. The bike department handles repairs and maintenance, from same-day mountain-bike work to tire and brake-cable replacement, and entries tied to this address describe mechanics who give honest repair-versus-replace advice instead of pushing new parts. Test rides and bike adjustments are part of the sales routine, with staff noted for patient help when shoppers compare models and sizes. Beyond cycling, the store carries camping, hiking, paddling, snow sports, and fitness gear, plus the co-op’s used-gear and trade-in programs. Located near the Mall of America and the I-494 corridor, it draws members and casual shoppers from across the south metro. Descriptions draw on location-specific entries: practical, unhurried bike service, straightforward mechanical advice, and a sales floor where trying before buying is encouraged. The American Boulevard location is minutes from the Mall of America and the airport area.
