Sports Basement is the Bay Area's favorite sports and outdoors store, with 11 locations spread across northern-California. From cycling to camping, snow sports to fitness, they carry the best brands at Basement prices. Their massive stores house full-blown ski, snowboard, and bike shops along with one of the largest rental fleets in the nation - they sell and rent it all! Customers can also trade-in their used gear and buy used gear. The stores also act as community hubs, offering free space for meetings and events, sponsoring local races, and providing over $12 million in donations and charitable contributions to schools and other nonprofits through their Basementeer program. Sports Basement is more than just a store - they know that your gear is more than just stuff. Customers describe the Berkeley location as an "amazing store" with a "cool vibe" in an old skating rink. It has a great selection of outdoor and sports clothing, including a huge running shoe selection. The pre-loved section upstairs is also a big plus, where customers can find bargains. The staff is helpful, and the stores are very large with a good selection of everything outdoor-related.
Great store and selection. Can be pricey, but the sales make up for it

The bike service I received was excellent! Expert advice, quick service, cost savings as a Basementeer; all my concerns embarking on the AlC ride were taken care of quickly! And I noticed race posters of running races I follow in the shoe department! Thanks for all your local support Berkeley Sports Basement!
