About Us
Report
We want to send out a BIG THANKS to all of you who have been so encouraging and helpful to our bike shop. In 2010 we started out in a rented garage. After three years we moved into our current building and have now been in our current location for four and a half years. The primary focus of The Bike Guy is to serve the cycling community on and around the Neuse River trail.
Our Story: I didn’t mean to open a bike shop… It just happened
Report
I love bikes. Riding them, fixing them talking about them; all of it. In my thirties though, I got away from cycling. Then, in 2008, we moved to the Raleigh/Wake Forest area and some where between the 12 months of good weather and feeling the need for more exercise; the velophille in me was reawakened.
How Cycling Makes Us Feel
Report
People are always telling me how I should feel about cycling. I should feel exited about the race scene or offended by athletes who use steroids or impressed by those who do not. When I ride with my friends, I should feel envy over someone's new carbon fiber bike or prideful about my own.
I should feel pressure to keep up with industry trends or constantly eager to buy some new trinket hailed to be the greatest thing bolted to bicycle since the wheel.I have websites telling me how to save a buck through huge corporate product suppliers, whose websites do nothing more than shuffle boxes in one warehouse door and out another.

Whose Road is it Anyway
Report
It's rush hour. You've hurried out the door with your travel mug and a head full of ambitions for the day only to meet with compacted traffic all the way to work. Then, as you're waiting your turn at another stop light, you see him; that spandex-clad cyclist riding his bike along-side traffic. Did he just pass me?', you ask the dashboard.
How to Change a Flat Tire
Report
The good news is, you're ready. It'd be foolish not to be right? Last time you were at the bike shop and the mechanic showed you the bike maintenance gear, you got everything you need. Whew, what a relief. Now, all you have to do is fix the flat. This is where a lot of cyclists have trouble. Everyone should be ready for a flat tire on their bicycle.
