Though I haven't bought a new bike since 2000 (they're all used, mixed collections of ebay parts, and frames), I consider my Local Bike Shop to be Flythe Cyclery in Raleigh. They're located just on the north side of "downtown", at the corner of Peace Street and West Street. I don't know much about their history, but I know it was established in 1946 when it was located on Salisbury Street. It moved to its current location 40 years ago.
Every time I've been there for bike service, the guys have been extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. While some shops might have an air of ego in them, Flythe doesn't. I dropped my cross bike off today to have the wheels trued and brakes repaired in hopes of getting into a riding groove over the next couple months. Should be ready this afternoon, too! Just in time for a nice weekend!
