Grassroots Bikes, Durham’s newest bike shop

Durham’s newest bike shop is a mountain bike boutique (i.e. a mountain bike specific bike shop). Located at 5520 Old Chapel Hill Rd., Grassroots Bikes is the retail and bike service effort run by Trips for Kids, Triangle. Profits go to support TFKT, which makes Grassroots Bikes Durham’s first “socially conscious bike shop.” Who knew there was such a thing?

Starting out small, the shop will keep new Surly, Vassago, Redline, and Soma mountain bikes in stock. “We stayed away from the big name brands in order to not directly compete with any of our friends at the local bike shops,” says Andrea Hundredmark, Durham Public Schools middle school teacher and organizer of Triangle Trips for Kids. You can check up on their inventory at grassrootsbikes.blogspot.com.

Hundredmark, aware of the local popularity of single speed mountain bikes, says that Grassroots Bikes will also support the single speed community through sales of new single speeds as well as carrying in stock single-speed parts.

I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
