For the cyclist “My bike was squeaking on the rail-trail so my friend and I stopped at Wamsley Cycles , and they fixed it and didn’t charge me anything—they said just come back another time for a full service. I definitely will! I plan on buying another bike, too, and I’ll buy it there. For gifts, they have all the accessories, from small gifts like a water bottle cage or gloves, and cycling helmets, of course, all the way up to all kinds of bikes. For someone who doesn’t have pant straps, those are useful—you don’t want your pants getting stuck in your chain. A bike light is also useful.” — A. Iyengar , a recreational cyclist in Morgantown

For the bowhunter “I live in Tucker County now, but I started going to Sportsman’s Emporium when I was a student at WVU. It has a great family atmosphere—you feel welcome there whether you’re just looking or they’re fitting you for a bow or you need accessories. I like to go to the independent shops, there or Sportsman’s Refuge at Cheat Lake—the small shops really know the gear, because they handle it every day. An inexpensive gift for a bowhunter is arrow wraps. A sight or a release is also a good gift. And a dozen arrows—you can never have too many arrows. My favorite brand is Gold Tip.” — Daniel Clower , bowhunter and competitive archer
