Terrible!

This bike shop is awful. I brought my bike in with rusty breaks, and they broke the bolt as they were trying to loosen it. There were no offers to replace the bolt. Their comments on this issue were as follows:
1. You should be glad it broke; riding a bike with rusty brakes is dangerous. You didn't want it to break while you were riding.
2. You should just get a new bike, this one is too cheap to fix.
The "best they could do" was refer me to other shops in the area, which might have replacement parts. I asked if I could leave the bike at the shop and pick it up later in the week, since I live up by Weaver Dairy, and was not about to ride a bike with no brakes four miles home. They said no. Absolutely terrible bike shop.
The scent of vulcanized rubber meets the aroma of stretchy, breathable lycra at this two-wheeler dealer.

In Short
It doesn't matter if you're the casual touring type or the mud-caked, gritty trail rider. If you're looking for equipment for your velocipede, Performance has it. From the single-gear beach cruiser to the hi-tech, rock-hopping mountain bike, if you can say the name, they've got the frame. Their Carrboro location features the latest in clothing, shoes, helmets, accessories and even racks to carry your gear.
Was once a good place

Brought a bike in for an overhaul, what a mistake. It was one week over due then when I picked it up my cables were still not replaced. They had worn to the point of snapping but were overlooked by the tech, how he missed it I don't know. Maybe they didn't do what was asked of them.
Their bike selection has dropped and is no longer as diverse as it was.
Good Products, Bad Staff

Very nice selection of bikes. Great location. Staff are pretty arogant, though, and not too bright.
- Pros: selection
- Cons: staff
