Bike Barn

I was surprised by the comments. My husband and I felt the owner was extremely nice. Lucy, his dog was a sweetheart. He adjusted our seats on our bikes. Made sure everything was good with both of them and gave us tips on where to bike. Pretty straightforward guy.Only tip I suggest is if you bike the woods bring bug spray!!! the deer fly arenasty.

We rode our bikes by the Bike Barn and pulled in on a whim to ask about one broken brake. He fixed it on the spot for $5 and I was able to pay with ApplePay. I can't recommend this place more! Will definitely be back! Lucy the watchdog is super cute.

On vacation in Outer Banks and my bike had a flat. I googled bike repair and thank goodness Bike Barn appeared. Fixed my flat in record time and charged fairly. Also, his electric bike rentals are very reasonable.

Bike Barn doesn't carry exactly the things I prefer, but they do carry acceptable substitutes and are very convenient to my office. They also helped us out with repairing the wheels on a stroller for only $10. If I need quick service or some decent supplies, they are my go-to spot on the Outer Banks.

The negative reviews of this bike shop are too kind. You would have to experience this first hand to believe what I am about to tell you. When I arrived, the door to the shop was locked with a note to knock on the door upstairs for help. When I knocked, a man jumped up off a sofa and asked what the hell do I want. I said I needed a small adjustment on my rear brake. When he unlocked the door to the shop, he grabbed my bike, put it up on his lift, and proceeded to tell me that my bike was messed up and needed a complete overhaul for $65.00. When I told him I disagreed and didn't want him to do it, he went baserk. Started cursing and yelling and basically threw me out of the shop. But before I was completely out the door he started spraying WD40 all over my bike. This man obviously is mentally unstable, and I would be concerned for my safety to go near him again.

Awsome shop, great stuff. The customer service on the other hand is pretty poor. I bought some 15$ oil for my chain and they tried to charge me 10 dollars to let me use their bike pump. I've been to a bunch of bike shops all around and have not purchased a thing and they were more than happy to let me use their pump. I never knew air was so expensive.

TOTAL A**. I only gave one star because I had too. I dont know how this guy stays in business. He was so rude to me and my wife, even cursing at one point. Why? Because the bike he wanted to rent my wife was too tall for her and we we asked if he could get her a smaller one out, he went off. When I said just give me a refund and we will go elsewhere, he went into a postal moment ranting and raving cursing the whole way back in the store and literally threw our money back up on the counter. CONSUMER BEWARE!! SHOP HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!! I reported him to the local C of C and the BBB.

All the bad reviews are from the past owner who died a couple of years ago!! The Bike Barn is now under new ownership and YELP will not allow him to start over with reviews even with a new company name and very experienced owner.Just ask for James and I'm sure you will be giving him & the NEW Bike Barn a 5 Star Review!!

Disregard the old reviews for Bike Barn. It is under new ownership. Mike, the new owner, is a bicycle enthusiast. He knows his stuff when it comes to bikes. He has been in the bicycle biz since 1987. He always goes the extra mile for his customers.

I was just on the outer banks 2 week's ago. The location has been closed for months, but the new owner is awesome. We had 12 bikes on our trip, and every one of them was serviced and we supported the home grown owner for the weekend! He was VERY appreciative, and VERY reasonable. We were in town for 4 days, directly across the street. Great service, great guy! He was an apprentice at the barn before the original owner died and took over the business to keep the legend alive! I HIGHLY recommend. I'll never go any where else for my bike repairs! EVER.
