I've had decent experiences with TCM - them giving me a screw for me my cleats (and selling me on for a dollar another time - loc tite was not working), selling me tires, assembling a bike that was shipped to me, but the last visit left me cold. I have an old beater Giant hybrid with gear issues. Brought it in to have that looked at, and experienced an aggressive upsell, for tuneup, replace all cables, get new tubes and tires. I said no and got push back that the brake cables were "pretty gunked up" and needed to be replaced. Umm .... still a no. Does clean machines pay it's employees commission on repairs? Kind of got that impression. So I agreed to a tuneup since it was explained that the gear issues would be fixed as part of that. (A tube blew out during the tuneup, stuff happens.) Rode home - gear issues so turned around and brought the bike back in, and after a few minutes was told that the gears were too old and worn to be fixed. Not sure about that, but things degraded two rides later - yesterday the bike was popping out of gear, and I broke the chain I am 100% sure for that reason. I would have appreciated them owning up right up front that the repair was not good, and not trying to shunt me into work I did not want or need.

They encouraged me to test one out too, which was awesome! Then I came back a few days later after they got some more inventory and made a purchase. I am new-ish to biking and found the staff to be very excellent in providing recommendations to suit my interests, budget, and goals. Didn't try to sell me everything in the store, just what i needed and wanted for my new hobby! They adjusted the seat for me and helped me get a pump and some bike accessories. They also have a little repair shop so if I have any issues or need adjustments, I will come to them first! Highly recommend.

Going into the space, I was welcomed by friendly people, such as a man named Dave and Sean, where they partnered me with a bike aid, Mr.Craig. Overall, the atmosphere was welcoming and informative. I explained to Mr.Craig that I was interested in a hybrid bike with a basket attachment, yet I wasn't sure. In the end, he set up a multiple of bikes I thought I was interested in, allowed me to know that I could change the handle bars, seat, peddles, and allowed me to take time in deciding which one I preferred and was better for my wants. In the end, I selected a commuter bike that ticked all of boxes and allowed me to fix it up. The community is something I hope to stay apart of !!

"Non-profit bicycle workspace/ sales!"…read more Tired of the high prices of bikes in the area? Don't know how to fix your rusty clunker and want some help and parts? The Durham Bike Co-op is exactly what you need! We discovered this place at the Earth Day festivities last weekend, and promptly visited the "store" the next day. It's not a "store", though they will sell you a fixed-up bike if you want to do that. Instead, you can come, donate a couple of hours of time, and then have a "membership" where you can fix up your own bike and use their many donated parts/ supplies as well as tapping into the expertise of the many other folks there. No previous mechanical experience necessary- they have the tools and will show you what you can do. If you don't feel like volunteering but just want to get your bike fixed, you can pay a small fee (WAY less than you'd pay at a local store). The facility is in a rather sketchy neighborhood, but they have a VERY impressive number of bikes of all sizes and types, as well as TONS of bike accessories. It's hard to imagine you couldn't find something to suit your desires at this place. The help we got from "Walt" on our visit was outstanding- he outfitted both my son and I with new-to-us bikes, set up exactly as we wanted them and fitting our needs (mine was a mountain bike, his was a kids' bike), for ~$80, and that came with 2 memberships for the year so we can come there and use parts/ accessories. Their hours are very limited (Sundays 1-6pm, and I think Thursday nights), and the facility can be a little crowded and a little chaotic, but it's fantastic for anyone who wants to get a cheap bike or fix up their current bike without breaking the bank. Highly recommend it. You can also find them on FaceBook.

The idea is these people can also pass along bicycle skills, and the world becomes a richer place. It is a first come, first serve operation, although you can also use the facility and resources to work on your bike by yourself. They have shared tools and parts that you can use. It is all free, but donations are always welcome. I learned about the ReCYCLEry when they came to UNC's campus to help students tune-up and fix their bikes. I went to a Sunday session to get some more complicated work done on my bike. The mechanics running the work shop were very helpful, and sure enough I learned how to replace my brake cables and got my bike running even better. The ReCYCLEry a great community resource!

I came in recently because I am looking to buy a new road bike. This will be my first road bike (and I am using for a triathlon) so I was asking a lot of questions (thanks Lars!).

Who knew! While I didn't buy a bike that day, I learned a lot and am still on the hunt. They also have a bike repair shop where you can take your bike in to be serviced. It's a great place if you're looking for a bike.
