Phat Tire Bike Shop

"Knowledge, well stocked bike shop for Trek sales, service and rentals. Central location to ride the NWA Mountain Bike Trails, with patio seating, restrooms and showers."

"Had great interactions with Ben and Seth. Ben helped my wife look at new helmets and Seth showed me his Big Fat Dummy which was awesome. After our ride I needed a wheel trued, was hoping it could get done by some time the next day since I came in less than an hour before closing but Seth took it and trued it while I chatted with Ben. I found both of them to be very friendly and knowledgeable. The store is really nice with a large selection of bikes and gear in stock. I will definitely be going back whenever I’m in the area."

"Ben and the whole staff were extremely friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for parts, service, rentals, or bike purchase in NWA! Willing to help diagnose bike problem. Made sure rental bike was perfect. The coffee shop inside was great too!"

"Bought my emtb here, have it serviced here, have friends and family rent emtbs from here when they come in town. BV is lucky to have this shop, and phat tire is lucky to have Seth as well as all of the other staff. They are always incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful."

"NOT for casual bike renters. Made a reservation to have 5 Green Way E bikes at $45 a bike for the day (10 am- 7pm),. They do not rent by the hour. There was some confusion in getting the proper bikes out for us to rent when we arrived a few minutes after 10 AM. Since we were all novices the young men in the bike shop Were Very patient And kind In Showing Us how to use the bikes. There was 1 employee who was 40ish with a salt and pepper beard that was very rude, condescending and sarcastic. When I asked what to do with the bikes If we stopped To eat or shop his answer was " I don't know, I've never had to sell a 15 foot bike lock before ". Clearly this shop is for bikers who need service or want to buy a bike, not for casual renters of E-bikes. They have a lot of 5 star reviews, but it's all for sales, service and repairs NOT for bike rentals. The battery fell out of one of the bikes as we were leaving, they gave us a different bike. I will in the future seek out a shop that is a little further away for casual bike rides. The Greenway is absolutely beautiful and is a very enjoyable bike ride."
