They had a good inventory and Phil was very helpful in helping me find a bike to suite my needs in my price range! He spent a lot of time with me explaining the pros and cons of the bikes in my sizes. I also needed multiple accessories (helmet, locks, water bottle holders) and he helped me pick them out.

My wife and I are biking novices, but thanks to Durham Cycles, our love for bicycling has grown in the 6 years we have spent in Durham. We bought out first nice bikes from Durham Cycle a few years ago and the bikes have been nothing short of a joy in our lives. Then recently, my wife became unable to bike uphill due to knee pain, so we reached out to Durham Cycle to find an e-bike. Within minutes, David from Durham Cycles found a model that was perfect her. David and his team have been incredible: honest, endlessly knowledgable, and always helpful. Thanks David and team! Your passion and professionalism have brightened our lives.

My husband and I went here to hopefully find a balance bike that was the appropriate size for our son. The one we got him for his birthday was too large and we felt pretty deflated as parents after we saw his excitement and then he couldnt ride it. We were unfortunately not able to find a balance bike for him BUT the kindness of the staff, knowledge shared, and patience in trying to help us on our quest was much appreciated. We wont hesitate to come here with our future biking needs as a family!

While visiting Durham, I was about to start a ride with my wife on the ATT. When I took my bike off our car, however, my front wheel was flat. At my urging, my wife started out. I found Durham Cycles about two miles away on Google, put my bike back on the car and headed over. They fixed my bike in a jiffy at a fair price. I was able to drive back to the trail head, get on my bike and ride to meet my wife about 8 miles down the trail. We continued our ride and then rode back together. Thanks Durham Cycle. You made our day.

Guy was flippant and very rude. I realize the bike shortage but when someone willing to spend several thousand dollars with you gets laughed at…. I won’t ever consider spending money here.

These folks care about their customers and want them to come back. Some of the most courteous and knowledgeable bicycle mechanics around too.

Very nice staff helpful knowledgeable. Spot on with their part recommendations. Go here first.

Helpful experts. What more could you want?

Loved it and the people here so much. They were super accommodating and accepting of my old bike. They explained up front what they’d do, how much it cost, when the bike would be done. I’m not taking my bike anywhere else.Edit: went back and they helped me pick out a new basket for my bike and replace the dust caps. Super helpful. Now I’m a true biker commuter. Thanks y’all.

We purchased two bikes and could not be more pleased. They were true professionals who know their bikes. One of the bikes was modified to perfectly fit my wife at no extra charge. I went to four other bike shops and no one else came close to their friendly knowledgeable service.

They are so helpful here! I came in looking for a new set of cleats and they spent so much time with me explaining the different types of cleats, subtle tweaks I can make on the bike, and some tips for when I put my new cleats on. Their customer service is exceptional! I also purchased several accessories for my bike from there this summer and they had a nice selection of pouches and bells.

Very professional and well-stocked. Special shout out to tech D!

Great service, very helpful and attentive. Gave some great tips too!

Durham Cycles is the best bicycle shop Ive seen in my 15 years of cycling.Durham Cycles has a welcoming crew that is devoted to enabling me to ride in the way I want to ride. I purchased a bicycle from them about two years ago and Ive been steadily improving and upgrading the bicycle. The folks at Durham Cycles were available and helpful talking through my options during each improvement and took my priorities into consideration. Recently I installed a dynamo hub to power a battery and headlight. Durham Cycles spent hours with me to find the right parts and teach me how to install the new parts.

Newest update:I really appreciate the owner reaching out to me about my experience. I havent had this happen very often (I dont leave many bad reviews). He gave me a call and apologized about the sub-service. With living in a digital world, it was nice to speak with someone over the phone instead of just through email. Thank you for following up.Updated review:So after getting my tire fixed, I went out on my first ride. Thankfully I only went a couple of miles, because my tire blew again. I had to walk my bike a couple of miles home. Only to find out that they had put the wrong tube on my bike knowingly, but never shared with me about it. Felt like I was lied to by the shop. I don’t plan on ever using their service again! There’s another bike shop in town. First time things go wrong and I get fooled, shame on you. Second time, shame on me.

Just the best.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff

They fixed my mountain bike wheel in a day after a crash and were super nice about it! Rates were awesome. Will definitely be back.

Always super helpful!

Ignorant of all things cycling, I had a fabulous shopping experience as a first time - in a long time - bike owner. I purchased a few must have items with the selfless help of Brandon. He provided a lot of entry level guidance with what I needed to know and answered all of my questions without hesitation.When I arrived home, I took my dog out for a moonlight ride around our neighborhood and she loved it (after weary hesitation and 30 seconds of vocal protesting)! I will happily revisit the shop anytime I have questions or need to pick up something to upgrade my ride.

My wife and I rented two bikes from here to take on the American Tobacco Trial. Very helpful staff and fast service. $25 / bike. It’s a bit of a long ride to get to the trail, but doable if you can manage your way through some downtown traffic. This would also be a great place to rent bikes and explore Duke. Nice place!

Dave and his team are so knowledgeable and friendly. Have gotten two bikes with them already and my next upgraded Felt will be from them too. Good selection of bikes, and Daves fit has kept me comfortable and injury free. Whenever I have an issue with my bike or need a checkup Dave always takes care of me right away. Strongly recommend!

What a great team at Durham Cycles. They go above and beyond to help you have a great experience, whether purchasing a new bike, having repairs and maintenance done or bike fit. The bike fit they do is incredible, I went from hurting and pain every time I rode to pain free riding and a stronger cyclist because they not only fit you to your bike but show you proper riding techniques and equipment advice. I live 2 hours from Durham and gladly make the trip to have them handle all my biking needs!! Thanks Durham cycles!

I had an amazing experience at Durham Cycles and would recommend it to anyone with any type of cycling need. I went in and got a bike fit with the intention of buying a new bike. I met with Dave and had the most fun I have had making a purchase. He took me though the fit and explained everything that he was doing to help me understand the process in case I needed to make small tweaks on my own later on.After the fit was done we sat at the computer and he walked me through multiple brands of bikes to help me find the stock geometry that would fit me best. He didnt push me to any particular brand (which was really nice) and he actually steered me away from certain brands because they would not meet my fit needs. It was so refreshing to work with someone who was honest and just wanted to help without pushing something on me whether it be a specific brand or a higher priced bike so they could make more money.After spending some time with Dave and talking about what I was looking for we found a bike that fit great, was well under the price point that we had discussed, and met all of my needs. I was able to use the leftover money to purchase some shoes, pedals, helmet, and aerobars all of which were being sold in the store (at a competitive price when I compared to others online). They had my bike in stock but took a few days to assemble it and attach all the things I had purchased. Dave also setup the clips on my shoes to make sure they were the right fit for me (he ended up having to add a shim in to get them just right).Dave (the store owner) was a friendly, professional who was genuinely concerned about his customers. His staff were also really cool (I spent a few minutes chatting with them before the fit got started). My only regret is that I wish I lived closer so that I could go there for my bike maintenance and gear purchases.

I took my 8 year old daughter and her first bike in to Durham Cycles for a pedal upgrade. What a positive and uplifting experiences for us both! The staff welcomed us in and treated my little girl and her bike with all the care and professionalism one would expect for an Olympian. They presented me with a couple of upgrade options including one that was less than $10. The staff then went on to install the new pedals, recycle the old pedals, and straighten out the handlebars which had been bent in a crash. You should have seen my daughters face when we walked out. This is a locally owned and operated business. I cant say enough good things about the business. Any bike related need you might have, take it to Durham Cycles.

Absolutely love this place! Very courteous, helpful and professional. I had a small maintenance problem with my rental bike and they fixed it quickly and with a smile and a chocolate cookie during the wait. Excellent company! Loved biking around Durham, it’s a great way to see the city!

Durham Cycles was recommended to me by a friend who rides competitively. Had a great meeting and‘Fitting’, hmmm, is that right,? with David last week and he was great. Looking forward to many, many years of riding.

Fantastic shop, excellent and complete service, incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. By far, the best shop for renting, asking questions, receiving service, and/or buying equipment.Durham Cycles have met and serviced every need I have had during the past few years and done so with incredible quality. Often times, there are small details some shops forgo and rather skip servicing (ie some forget ferrules on cables, aligning tires with valve stems, or maintaining the personal feel of brake pull and cables.) Small, minute adjustments which take time but also make a huge difference) and the end result is having to fix or adjust these things on my own when I get home or make another trip back to the shop for them to fix it. Durham Cycles goes out of their way to make sure your bike is safe, reliable, and functions in the best way possible. The owner and mechanics do so with the utmost respect and make sure to notify you of any changes or suggestions they have and ask prior to performing the service. You walk out of the shop confident and more knowledgeable than before.I stand by their service and community. If I have any questions or needs about bikes, cycling, and or the cycling community, I know DC will be able to help. It’ll be hard to go back to another shop anywhere else I move without comparing them to DC.

I was in Durham for a few days while my son was looking at colleges and wanted to rent a bike to tour the area. The team at Durham cycles was extremely helpful. I was outfitted with the perfect bike and sent on my way with maps, and great directions - I would highly recommend them.

Through the years I have purchased six bikes locally, the last two from Durham Cycles. Have had much work done also at various shops. All experiences have been great, but Durham Cycles is easily the best. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Saw Dave at Durham Cycles. Could not have asked for a better fitting experience. Dave saw me as a unique individual, took the time to measure me and my bike extensively, taking into account my unique body shape. He kept tweaking until I felt great. Dave changed my riding comfort and gave me back the joy of cycling. HIGHLY recommend.

Definitely a bike shop that goes above and beyond. I needed to have my bike tuned up before going out of town and they were very up front about turnaround time, fixed everything I needed, and even did a little extra (after asking first, of course). They were very conscientious and understanding of the tight timeline we had and got me excited to take my bike back out on the road again :)

As always...a treat to visit with these pros. Best cycle shop in Durham!

This is a great neighborhood bike shop. Between the five of us we have more than 10 bicycles so I come here quite often. I am very happy as you can tell from the 5 stars. Definitely the strengths are the location and the staff (very helpful, knowledgeable). Ive come with all kinds of issues, from the expensive overhauls to the most trivial detail and I always get help.

These guys are fantastic. I needed a new bolt for the bottom of my shoe and they took care of it right away for me. Offered great advice. Couldnt be more friendly. I will definitely buy my next bike here.

Fantastic shop, fantastic service. Dave (owner) is super knowledgeable and will work to get you on the right bicycle for you. All of the staff do a great job repairing, tuning, and upgrading bikes. They can answer your questions and help you plan to grow as a cyclist. A model for how all business should run, not just bicycle shops.

Great service from expert bike mechanics.

Really excellent service. We needed a new tube and some advice for an older bike tire. It keeps blowing out They replaced it on the spot, the price was reasonable, and they gave us some good friendly advice.Update: Ive been back for a few different things. Special order tires, rack over the back wheel, and just recently a wheel rebuild.They do great work. I always have good service. Price is always reasonable.As a bike commuter, I really appreciate these guys!

Phil is the coolest!

Perfect place for renting bikes! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The web interface is very informative... highly recommend this place for anyone who loves exploring the city on a bike for the weekend!

Outstanding customer service. There was a misunderstanding and they were extremely reasonable while offering solutions- I definitely got the better end of the deal which illustrates their business ethic. Definitely recommend if youre looking for rentals or any service they offer.

Dave fitted my tri bike. He is absolutely AMAZING! I rode it in the Ironman North Carolina 70.3 this past weekend and felt like a million dollars. I literally could have went to sleep on the bike, it was so comfortable. He is definitely the one you need to see for a fitting!!

I have been to all the local bike shops. None of them are bad...but no one won my loyalty until my visit today. They didnt do anything groundbreaking for me...but I watched them hustle when they were busy. I also heard a lot of good advice, to myself and to others.Classy dudes.

Love love love this shop. Weve had a bike from Durham Cycles for several years now. It was priced well, and the service (on any little thing) has been outstanding. I continue to recommend friends to Durham Cycles and they have always been very pleased with the products/services they have gotten there.

To quote a cyclist friend of mine, Oh yeah, those guys actually know bikes. On top of that they are incredibly involved in the community surrounding cycling. It’s rare that you find people so supportive of charities, local events, and enjoying every moment of it. Seeing their logo pop up all over the local Durham calendars speaks to their character and passion. Highly recommended!

Made my first ever bicycle purchase for myself here. Joe was super helpful in answering every question I had about the bikes from performance to comfort to maintenance and care. Joe made the experience one where I wanted to buy the bike from DC.Great experience. No pressure to sell you something. They just took care of what you want to get out of your biking experience by working with you to get the equipment and service that you need.Decent location for test driving bikes as well. Good side streets with some moderate inclines and a few gravel cut-thru places to test terrain-feel.

Have bought bike accessories here and had a great experience! Friendly, helpful staff, knowledgeable, and good selection. I know many people who have purchased bikes/gotten repairs done here who have been super happy. Thanks Durham Cycles!

I bought a commuter bike from Durham Cycles. The service is terrific; knowledgeable about bikes and thoughtful about each customer’s needs. The atmosphere they’ve created in the store is great fun. A wonderful store.

I had been looking for a pretty unique combination in a bike of something high performance with an upright position. These guys were just fantastic in helping me find what I was after. They even recommended a frame they did not sell, then built it all up for me. Every single person I dealt with was very patient in answering any questions I had and would not hesitate to ask someone else if they were not sure. Highly recommended.

Super friendly and helpful. Was in town for the weekend, and they were happy to point out good rides.

Ive been nothing but pleased with Dave and his team. Theyve repeatedly gotten me back on the road quickly at a fair price, and Ive never been pushed to buy something I didnt need. I would recommend to anyone, racers and novices alike.

I bought my bike at the shop. I appreciated that they let me ride as many bikes as I liked to get a feel for them. Theyve also repaired and tuned up bikes for my family, and the work has been great quality.

Durham Cycles literally gave me my cycling life back! Dave and his team created a solution to a long standing problem that prevented me from being able to ride much for the last number of years. Cycling is important to me and I am grateful to have it back in my life. In fact this weekend I rode 75 miles on Saturday and 100 miles on Sunday at the Bike MS ride. Thank you Durham Cycles - this would NOT have been possible without you!!!

Durham Cycles is a pillar of our citys cycling scene, friendly to the humblest bike newbie and trusted by experienced veterans. I have scarcely met an owner and staff as committed to promoting and advancing a cycling community, from local grassroots events to racing team sponsorships. Their bike brands are fantastic and their mechanics are committed to keeping a bike on the work stand until its right, period. Most highly recommended.Rusty MillerHead Coach, Duke Cycling

Very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices and effective service. I highly recommend this shop! Been taking my bike(s)(s)(s) for years.

I brought my road bike with formerly touchy shifting in for adjustments a couple months ago, and its been flawless ride after ride ever since. Not sure what magic they worked, but clearly these guys know what theyre doing. They also sold me an awesome set of new carbon tubular wheels and have been great about filling in gaps in my knowledge about how to maintain them. A great new local business Ill definitely continue to support. Great to have a shop like this on the scene in Durham--weve needed it for a long time.

Cant say enough great things about this shop! Their top priority is making sure that you love cycling and are safe while doing it. Buying a bike from them is far more than a sales transaction- it is them educating you about cycling and welcoming you to the sport. I have been so thankful to have them to turn to for repairs and general questions every step of the way. In an age where you can buy nearly anything online, I would never dream of buying anything cycling related from anywhere other than Durham Cycles! They are the experts.

Great service - I came in with a slipping chain and they were nice enough to show me the problem and how to fix it in the future, found another issue and fixed it on the spot. Got some great discount gear and was in and out in 10 minutes. Friendly and knowledgeable - support your local bike shop!

I walked in with a bike needing repair and walked out 45 minutes later with it all fixed. This saved me from having to drop it off and return on another day for it. Now I realize I probably came at the right time but I was appreciative they let me know it could be done that quickly as they had other bikes in the racks.

I love this shop! The have excellent customer service skills and their prices are very reasonable! You can also find good quality accessories that are not overly priced!

I cant say enough good things about this shop and the staff in it- I have been here three times since moving to Durham in January, and each time the staff has been helpful above and beyond what the situation called for. The most recent time I visited the shop was because to see what could be done about a sliding seat- not only did they help me fix the issue on the spot, but I was given delicious homemade cookies while waiting AND the person helping me with that problem noticed another problem with my brakes and fixed that, as well...asking for nothing in return! I lived in San Francisco before this for four years and never have I experienced such a generous and selfless bike shop/staff as what I have seen at Durham Cycles. Dont hesitate to bring your bike here!

I was impressed with Durham Cycles before they even opened their doors. I was in the market for a new bike and sent an email to Durham Cycles requesting some information. I was certainly not expecting to hear back until they actually opened for business, but literally within a couple of hours I had a response in my inbox not only answering my questions but offering to help me before their opening day. David and Jeff are the most knowledgeable cycling enthusiasts I have ever met and the amount of time and detail that they put into my bike fitting was unheard of. Here we are more than 6 months later their level of service has only grown. Thank you Durham Cycles for all that you do for the Durham community.

I didnt find Durham Cycles immediately upon moving to Durham and visited some bicycle shops which I found problematic for a number of reasons. So I know how difficult it can be to find a good bicycle shop in Durham and Chapel Hill. So far I am very happy with the experiences I have had at Durham Cycles. I never hear any of the bull there that I have received at other places. I think I can say that the guy who runs the place is genuinely interested in seeing people happy and safe on their bicycles.

Excellent Service!!!Been in all bike shops in RTP and this place is awesome.Great choices, well priced, fabulous service.Thank you Phil for your help.Loved the bikes we bought.

Very friendly and helpful. Took a bike in to replace a tire. They did it while we waited! Great staff!!

The $25 per day bike rental for high-quality bikes is wonderful, and service was fantastic!

The folks over at Durham cycles really helped ignite my passion for cycling. I first went in as a complete beginner, and Dave and the rest of the team did a fantastic job getting me fitted and set up with a bike that was perfect for what I wanted to do, as well as with all of the knowledge I needed for maintenance and repairs. The team at Durham Cycles are among the most passionate and knowledgeable riders and mechanics I know, and I highly reccomend going there and supporting a great local shop that really cares about the cycling community!

I bought a bike from Durham Cycles 2 years ago before going on an Adventure Cycling cross-country ride from San Diego to St Augustine. They sold me the perfect bike for the trip and have provided great service ever since. Highly recommended.

Best bike shop in Durham. Knowledgeable staff, great brands, excellent mechanics. If youre looking for an LBS in the triangle, this should be your one and only atop.

I love this place! When Bicycle Chain left our neighborhood, I was wondering what I would do without a local bike shop. Well, I did not have to wonder for long, sinceDurham Cycles opened up almost immediately, and they have met all of my bicycling needs. The staff is friendly and professional, they can order items that they dont carry, and they have given me lots of good advice. They even mounted a mirror on my daughters bike for free!

This shop has bikes, parts and gear. If you need those things, they are fine. I would not take my bike here for any maintenance or repairs. Ive ridden for years and do most of my maintenance myself. In the past week, two friends have told me stories that blow my mind.1) A friend asked if he could make his bike roll a little faster. I suggested that the first thing he could do is buy new tires. He was riding on 700x35s with heavy tread that were rated at 65psi. When he went to the shop and asked for tires that would make his bike faster, the salesperson told him the best way to get faster is to train more. I went with my friend to bullseye cycles and we bought different tires.2) Another friend got a flat tire. She was quoted $20, and also told that the work would be hard because she has fenders.Both of these answers indicate either a disdain for customers or ignorant sales reps. And telling someone a lie like fenders make it harder to fix flats either means their mechanics just bought their first multi tool last week or theyre trying to convince customers that the easiest tasks on bikes are challenging, so why not just let the shop do it.Ive never gotten a good feeling from this shop. I would not recommend going here for honest assessments of your bike or the labor it would need.

The customer service here is fantastic! It took a number of bike rides and a few adjustments, but I left here with a bike that was a perfect fit for me. They were very patient and helpful, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Dave the owner has been wrenching, building wheels and doing bike fits since the mid 90s. You will have a hard time finding anywhere someone to deal with that is more honest and experienced than him.

Patient and Informative: I went to this shop regarding the fitting of a non carried brand. I emailed the fitting coordinator and had always received a prompt response (even when I knew I might have been annoying with the questions). This shop could have upsold me or tried to dissuade my decision but instead supported the brand I wanted despite not carrying a completed build. I eventually used this shop to determine the proper size before I ordered. This was my first experience with a fitting and would absolutely go back for an adjustment. Every measurement was explained to me. I was impressed with the biomechanical knowledge needed for the fitting. I have been recommending this shop via word of mouth but decided I should write a post to further demonstrate my thanks on a great experience. I look forward to visiting again.

Came in needing a new inner tube was greeted fast and taken to the back of the shop within a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, I wasnt really pleased with the repair guy who put the thing on. He came off as very condescending and a little pompous even though he knew exactly what he was doing. Overall decent place and fairly priced.

Great little independent bike shop. I stopped by and tried to explain the problem I was having with my bike chains, and even though I had no idea what I was talking about, the Durham Cycles guy took it for a spin and messed with the gears and somehow fixed it. It was fast, friendly and all-around delightful.

The guys really are friendly, educational and give an honest price on a quality product. I would highly recommend stopping by for your cycling needs if you are looking for a commuter bike or a racing bike...they have expertise to help you out.

I recently bought my first real (ie not from Target) bike from this shop and have been very impressed by the customer service. Dave was very patient and answered all of my questions about the bikes I was looking at and biking in Durham in general. He did the opposite of up-sell me, advising that I hold off on buying accessories until I rode and decided I needed them.A few days after buying the bike I got a puncture flat (obviously not their fault). I took the bike to the shop and Dave spent the time to explain how to change the tire, common mistakes etc.The shop also offers 2 free checks/tune-ups in the first year after buying a bike from them which made buying my first bike less stressful.I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone.

Durham Cycles was outstanding. I brought a moped in to get a quick repair, and Jeff was really helpful. Highly recommend this place for high-quality service and a great customer experience.

Durham Cycles has been my go to LBS from the day it opened. Dave is knowledgeable without ever being condescending. The shop caters just as well to racers as it does to daily commuters and has a strong sense of connection and dedication to the Durham cycling community. Though I may not be the biggest spender, Dave always makes sure I get what I need and if he doesnt have it, he will point me in the direction of someone who does. Having worked in many bike shops myself I can tell you that Durham Cycles is a quality shop worth investing in.

Great shop. No attitudes. No desire to take my money. I showed up when they were closing and they fixed both problems for me fast and courteously and I didnt feel like I was a bother at all. Thanks guys!

Great experience buying new bike for a family member. I have not purchased a new bike in years, certainly not one from a bike shop rather than a less expensive model from a big box store. I chose Durham Cycles based on excellent reviews and convenient location. Although I had read online about different bike styles and accessories and how to choose the right size, I opted for personal service from knowledgeable, helpful individuals in thinking about keeping this one for the long-term and preserving our joints. And, thats what we got. There were plenty of models to view and test and at reasonable prices for quality (which, besides good advice and service, is what you get at a bike shop, not necessarily at a big box store). All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Domenick, who was very patient in working with us to choose the best model and size for our needs and even explaining the physics of gearing to help with understanding shifting. There was no rush or pressure and he stayed late both times to accommodate our schedule. Choosing involved taking several bikes for a spin on two occasions and having Domenick adjust components for a good ride and even assemble a new bike for the best fit. Upon purchase, the bike leaves the store tuned up with encouragement to return in a month for a followup tuneup (or sooner if need be). All in all, we are looking forward to many days and years riding this bike and I am looking forward to returning to get one for myself. Thank you Durham Cycles and all you folks who directed us there with your reviews.

Dave at Durham Cycles is THE BEST. He gave me a very thorough and helpful bike fit a few weeks ago. I was experiencing some (ok, a lot of) pain in the nether regions while riding my cross bike that Ive converted to a road bike. Dave was extremely thorough and NEVER condescending while measuring all sorts of angles and measurements that I didnt even know mattered to how my bike fit. He patiently explained what he was doing and answered my questions. He also was (and has been historically) very thoughtful about my financial situation, and made minor changes that were within my budget and would help me feel MUCH better on my bike. As a result of this bike fit, I have NO more pain on the bike, and I have much more power! He followed up with me the next week to make sure I was still feeling good, and throughout the entire experience was extremely pleasant, informative and patient with me! Durham Cycles is THE place to go in the Triangle for your bike needs. They clearly love bikes, and are knowledgeable about all styles of riding.

David and his crew consistently go above and beyond what you might expect from a local bike shop. These guys know their stuff and bend over backwards to support the local cycling community.As a member of the Duke Cycling Team, I had a stretch of ~1 year that I stopped by DC at least weekly. Not only did David and the crew help me to figure out what part or service I needed, but they also were quick and professional and up front about their workload & when to expect a repair to be done.This is a local business that cares. Support your local bike shop!

David and the staff of Durham Cycles are great. I spent a year as a bicycle mechanic many years ago, and have been in many bike shops since, and Durham Cycles is the best. I have endured mediocre repair jobs and folks who dont know what they are talking about; you wont find either at Durham Cycles.

Helpful, customers feel comfortable. They dont rush their work yet they manage to avoid wasting anyones time. And dont cost much! Impressive!

These guys are superb mechanics, very friendly, and perhaps most importantly adamant and vocal supporters of the cycling and bike safety community. Plus there are some pretty hot bikes in there. A must for all velophiles in Durham.

Great service, stand up guys, and a well stocked shop. Their space isnt huge, but if they dont have something in stock, theyll get it usually next day. Ive been riding and racing for many years, and this shop is as good as it gets. I usually wrench my own bikes, but lately Ive been dropping off my rigs here because these guys truly do top notch work at some of the best prices in town. Bottom line: Dave, Geoff and Scotty love bikes, and if you love bikes, you should know this shop.

The staff at Durham Cycles is friendly, caring, and dedicated to our mutual obsession with cycling of all kinds. My bike would be dysfunctional and I certainly would not have enjoyed riding it if it werent for the hard work of the people at this shop. Spend your money at this local institution - youll get every pennys worth.

Ive had nothing but good experiences here. David, Geoff and Scotty are all so knowledgeable and honest about bikes and what you need and what you dont. Too many times places will talk you into unnecessary parts or even a bike thats beyond your ability. Durham Cycles is the only kind of shop Id want to trust with my business.

Very open about what work was needed, what was optional, and how much it would cost up front. That being said, I had them do a full tune up on a couple of bikes and it cost me about $125 apiece. I dont know much about bikes and bike repair, but that seemed steep. Both bikes needed things like new brake pads, tightening all around, adjusting gear lines, oiling etc. One also had a messed up gear arm (I forget the name - actuator maybe?) and that cost about $35 in parts and perhaps $30 in labor extra.

Durham Cycle is run by enthusiastic cyclists. They helped me assemble my bicycle and taught me knowledge in bicycles. Thanks, Durham Cycles.

I had a great experience at Durham Cycles recently when I went in to purchase cycling shoes for indoor cycling.I was slightly intimidated to go in because I do indoor cycling and Im not a die hard cyclist, but the gentleman who helped me(maybe the owner?) was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. He answered all my questions and made great suggestions. I wound up purchasing a pair of cycling shoes for less $ than I was expecting to spend that he then fit and placed my cleats for. His knowledge and expertise really created a top notch experience. I really felt that the guidance and suggestions I got were in my best interest as a customer. I would definitely recommend this business to others!

Great local business in Durham - very knowledgeable staff . Really thoughtful in their approach to customers and community . Would highly recommend this business

The staff know there stuff and are extremely helpful.

I rejoiced the day Durham Cycles moved in because we really needed a full-service bike shop in our area. And I was even happier when I discovered what a great shop it is. As someone who cares much more about riding than I do about bike parts or repairs, I sometimes find shops intimidating when I need new equipment or repairs. Not so here. Geoff and Dave are helpful, respectful and extremely pleasant to work with. They also go the extra mile to get just the right parts and they price very fairly. They even replaced a tire I was unhappy with, though it was no fault of theirs. I often sing their praises to others in the area -- now Im telling the world!

Professional and helpful staff who assist you in finding the right bike

Great friendly staff who are super knowledgeable and care about their customers!

Rented a roadbike from them when visiting Durham. Excellent and friendly service - keep up the good work!

I bought my bike in Chapel Hill in 2007, and at other stores had very corporate, mediocre service. When Durham Cycles opened, I began taking my bike there, and Ive never looked back. The staff has the customers interests at heart and openly discusses what you need and how much it costs up front. They have done both minor and major repairs for me (from tune-ups, to replacing my helmet and all the cables after an accident). Theyre also good about getting in touch with time estimates and letting me know as soon as my bike is ready for pickup. Dave, the owner, is great at explaining things and answering questions - Im not a bike expert by any means, and I never feel like hes talking down to me. I trust his judgment completely. In short, if youre in the Triangle and need anything bike-related, dont hesitate to stop by Durham Cycles!
