The complete mountain bike shop - and they introduced Bellingham to mountain bikes. But also they were the first snowboard dealer in Bellingham and they carry skis for cross country and downhill. They have rental programs and a ski and snowboard half back program for growing kids. And much more. Check their website for a complete listing of their services and products.

What really makes this shop worth your time and money is their staff of professionals. They have many years of combined experience. Owner John Hauter started the store in 1971 and still helps people choose the best bike for their needs. And he has developed and kept a sales and repair staff who have many years experience and provide quality service. Visit their shop and check it out. It is one of Fairhaven's premier shops.

Fairhaven is at the start of the Chuckanut Mountain bike trails. Fairhaven Bike has rental bikes with maps and full local knowledge from their staff. The photo above shows Steve doing a custom fitting - which are available by appointment.
