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.

Recently bought a bike here and love it. Everyone was super nice. I also needed a minor checkup a couple of weeks later which was covered by the purchase. Super friendly and quick!
