Cycle 9 wins GO!Triangle commuter award

In June, Cycle 9, along with the other bike shops in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, won an award for working together to promote bicycle transportation as an alternative to cars. The award reads:

Go Chapel Hill Commute Challenger Award
Chapel Hill & Carrboro Bike Shops
The Town of Chapel Hill recognizes all of the Chapel Hill & Carrboro Bicycle Shops for outstanding participation in Bike to Work Week events. Rarely do competing businesses put aside their own bottom lines for the bigger cause. Yet, all five of the Chapel Hill – Carrboro hotspot bicycle shops joined together to promote cycling in our area. Throughout Bike to Work Week they offered discounts, ran special promotions, offered free inspections and conducted Bike on Bus workshops. Representatives from all five shops are currently working with the Town of Chapel Hill to develop a more intense promotional campaign for the coming year! Hats off to The Clean Machine, Cycle 9, Performance Bike, Back Alley Bikes and the Bicycle Chain for your teamwork for the greater good!

Just goes to show what a great bicycle town we live in! Keep up the good work.

Bike Art Batiks

Recently, my Mom, who works wonders with a sewing machine, sent us a beautiful quilt that featured a woman riding a bike with 3 kids, including 2 twins! The center of the quilt is a batik done by an artist in Uganda, where my Mom's friend regularly visits on a health care humanitarian mission. We hung the batik up in the shop, where some of you may have seen it. 

Now, we've been able to obtain a few more of these unique batiks for sale. Each one features a bicycle carrying kids or loads. Each is individual and hand made. And each purchase helps support the artists who make these. We've got only a few right now (and hope to be getting another batch later in the fall) so don't miss this opportunity to get a unique item for that bicycle lover in your family. You can check them out at our online store, and we'll be displaying them in the shop soon.

We sell regular bikes, too!

To many local folks, we are known as the electric bike shop. We are one of the very few shops in our area that carries electric bikes. But that's not the only thing we do. We promote biking in all of its forms, whether electrified or not.

We carry regular bikes by Surly, Marin and Breezer, Day 6, and more, that are great for getting around on by leg power.

The owners and employees of Cycle 9 all have non-electric bikes that we ride regularly. Kristen has a nice fixie (single speed fixed gear bike) that she built up from an old road bike. Morgan rides a 1x9 mountain bike that she built up from a Soma Juice frame, a Lemond racing bike, a Fat Chance Yo Eddy mountain bike, and a Downtube folding bike. Elise rides a Bridgestone MB-1 with slick tires and moustache handlebars. And Chris rides an ANT bike. Erika rides her commuter bike with her neato panniers everywhere.

We all love and ride regular bikes, and we can help you pick the right bike, whether electrified or not.

We specialize in road bikes that are meant for people who ride every day or long distances. We carry the Surly Long Haul Trucker, an excellent bike for someone who wants the efficiency of a road bike without the discomfort of a racing bike. We carry the Surly Cross Check - a light, versatile bike that can be used on or off road. We are building up a Surly 1x1 commuter for a customer, using the Nuvinci Continuous variable transmission. His bike will have the simplicity and low maintenance of a single speed, with the benefit of having gears for some of the steep hills he rides every day.

We can even order racing bikes for folks who like the one of the great models offered by Marin or Soma Fabrications. We like racing bikes, though we only have limited floor space, so don't have them on the floor. We also like the Marin Alp bikes, since they provide the speed of a road bike but the more upright riding position of a mountain bike.

We can help you find the right biking solution, whether you are looking to go with only leg power, or want/need a bit of a boost from an electric assist.
