Cycle 9 wins GO!Triangle commuter award

Icon Written by admin on August 11, 2009 – 7:47 am

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.

Icon Written by Morgan Giddings on November 30, 2008 – 3:08 pm

After a long wait, it looks like our new retail store will be open the weekend of Dec 6-7 or at latest early the following week. It will be a bit of a work in progress for the next couple weeks, but we hope to at least have the doors open on the 6th, so come on down and check us out!

We’re located at 601 W. Main Street in Carrboro. For those of you who know Carrboro, this building has been known for a long time as the “Basnight” building, for the hardware store that operated here for > 50 years. We hope that soon it will be known as the “Cycle9″ building. We’ll have a selection of hub motors, cargo bikes, Breezer and Marin bikes, Xtracycle kits and accessories for you to browse and try out. New store hours are as follows:
Monday closed
Tuesday 11-6
Wednesday 11-6
Thursday 11-7
Friday 11-6
Saturday 10-5
Sunday 12-5
Phone number/email will remain the same.

Recent articles about Cycle 9 electric bicycles in the news

Icon Written by Morgan Giddings on May 31, 2008 – 8:18 pm
Cycle 9 was written up in the Durham/Chapel Hill/Raleigh Herald Sun today. It was a nice article about our reason for being.

We want to thank everyone who read the article and came out to visit us. We apologize for being so low on stock of the electric bicycles. Whenever we get them in, they keep flying out the door. But, we do expect more electric motor kits in the next few weeks, so we can get some people up and running.

Also, there was a recent press release about Cycle 9 on PRLog. We thank them for helping get the word out.

If any reader notices another article about us that we haven’t mentioned on this blog, the first person to email us about it will receive a $25 gift certificate.
