Sponsors of the National Champion Duke Cycling Team and the Duke Triathlon Team, Durham Cycles is Raleigh-Durham's bike shop of choice for racers and commuters alike. We provide bicycle sales, rentals, and repairs in the heart of downtown Durham, just around the corner from Duke University and the American Tobacco Trail.
Unlike most bike shops, Durham Cycles is authorized to sell over a dozen bike brands - so we'll find the right bike for you, not just the bike that's "right on the floor." Durham Cycles is locally owned and owner operated. Please check out our Facebook page for the latest shop updates, specials, and events!

Our Mission
Report
Please note, we are temporarily reallocating our monthly giving to help offset a team member's medical expenses. We encourage you to support the organizations below and we hope to get the program up and running again soon. Durham Cycles has always been more than just a bike shop. We guarantee our workers a living wage and every year we put our efforts and our money into organizations that support our core values.
Bikes
Report
Durham Cycles is an authorized dealer for more than 10 major bicycle brands. We're re not a "Trek Store" or a "Specialized Store"- we're a bicycle store. Our priority it to get you on the right bike, with the right fit, at the right price - with no obligation to a "house" brand. No obligation to a "house" brand, so we're allowed to sell not just the bikes, but the accessories that serve our customers best.
E-Bikes
Report
E-bike design and engineering is still developing. There are a lot of unproven products on the market that offer poor warranties and little or no post sale support. Durham Cycles only stocks and sells ebikes with industry-leading Bosch or Shimano motors and with frames designed from the ground up for E-Bike use.
Kids’ Bikes
Report
There is a big difference between Kids' Bikes purchased from your Local Bike Shop (LBS) and bikes from a department store. The first difference consumers may notice is the price-Yes, bike shop bikes cost more.
Here's why: (1) LBS bikes use high quality materials, like serviceable bearings, not bushings which wear out fast and can't be replaced; (2) LBS bikes are generally lighter weight and easier for kids to handle than department store bikes; and, most importantly, (3) LBS bikes are assembled with care by experienced mechanics!
