Give them a call and tell them you're considering this purchase. They're pretty flexible and I'd be surprised if they didn't let you do it.

I've been an REI member for many years. As a matter of fact, I became a member to get the 20% discount on my first "real" bike, a Novara Strada. It was a great value as an entry level road bike, maybe on par with a Bianchi Brava or Trek 1500. I still have the Shimano RSX 8-speed group in a box in my garage. It's bombproof.

As far as the Chariot, I highly recommend that too. I probably use ours every weekend, either as a trailer or jogger. The kids love it and we have a great time as a family in the outdoors. One of the best moments of my Dad-hood was one Saturday morning when I was in the garage and my daughter came in, put on her helmet, climbed in the Chariot, and said "Daddy! Ride? Ride?"

Priceless.
