I went in today for help with a busted stroller tire (after trying to fix it myself without success). Celia was incredibly patient and helpful, troubleshooted the issue, sat with me to show me step by step how to replace the tube and reassemble everything, and also let me know other resources that may be helpful to me in the future. Will definitely go back with any tire or bike needs!

I have no downsides possible to mention of this spot and renting a mtn bike while in the area. Friendly, engaged, and spent extra time showing me all the trails in area and finding the right challenge for me. Bike worked great and trails recommended were beyond fun and perfect. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I rented bikes for the day. Good value, and great service. Both employees we interacted with were excellent. Go here and give them your business!

Durham Cycles is hands down the best and friendliest bike shop in the area. The shop has a great vibe, and the team is knowledgeable and welcoming. Their repair service is fast and reasonably priced. My favorite thing about Durham Cycles is that they support the community and are passionate about getting everyone out on bikes! They offer competitive prices for both road and mountain bike rentals.

This bike shop is incredible. Dave helped me through the process of testing out some electric bicycles. And then he helped me order the one I wanted and gave me a great deal. I can't recommend Durham Cycles enough.

The folks at Durham Cycles are always helpful! They’re willing to work to fit you into their busy schedule and always deliver quality repairs and give helpful advice and have all the accessories you might want or need. It’s nice to have a helpful and reliable bike shop in town.

What a gem of a local bike shop! I've been in a few times over the last few years for accessories and always received outstanding customer service but this last time was above and beyond! I went in looking for a bike stand, to keep my bike from falling over in the garage but they don't sell them. Dave was happy to help, making recommendations for where I might be able to purchase one online. After discussing how committed I was to shopping local, Dave even offered to call another local bike shop to see if they carry them but then remembered that they had a used one lying around that they weren't using and GAVE IT TO ME FOR FREE! Works perfectly! I'll be back again soon and hopefully to make a purchase and support this local gem.

I bought a new bike here a year ago. My short summary is that I still love the bike and will be doing all bike related business with Durham Cycles for the rest of time.
I drove over to Durham from Cary on the strength of their reviews and the fact that they are not a hostage to Trek/Specialized/Giant, etc. I was looking for a steel bike that would be comfortable on longer fitness rides where speed wasn't necessarily a goal. I haven't really biked since I was a kid, and I was overwhelmed by the number of options when browsing online. Brandon let me demo a few options, including a Marin Nicasio and a Jamis Renegade. The Renegade was stunning, but my heart and wallet said that the Nicasio met all my needs at a great price. I have no regrets. It's been reliable and incredibly fun to ride.
If you're looking for an affordable and fun way to enjoy all the greenways and trails this area has to offer, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a bike from them. They stand by their sales for a full year and have a very good selection at multiple price ranges. Plus a good selection of quality accessories. They're friendly and I truly believe they just want to see more people enjoying riding on the right bike for their needs.
Worth the drive from Cary or Raleigh, too.
