Welcome To Fanatik Bike Co

From our humble beginnings in a car garage, Fanatik Bike Co. is now an award-winning brick-and-mortar bike shop, with a world-renowned online presence. We are dedicated to providing the best products and service for you and your bike, with an emphasis on sharing our passion for all things cycling-related. While we specialize in mountain biking, our service and products extend far beyond that. We encourage you to stop in our shop, or strike up a chat with us online. We are here and eager to work with you - whether that be fixing a flat or building your next dream bike.

Custom Is Our Specialty

While we're proud of our retail shop, we're also well known for our online custom mountain bike builder tool. We believe everyone should be able to ride the bike of their dreams and we love helping people piece together their ultimate machine. We carry frames from Evil, Devinci, Ibis, Santa Cruz, and Banshee, as well as components from the best manufacturers. Our smart Bike Builder makes it easier than ever to piece your new bike together, step-by-step. Looking for some inspiration? Be sure to check out our Build Gallery. Careful though, there are some seriously drool-worthy bike builds in there!

Huge Demo Fleet

We're proud to offer a wide variety of top-shelf demo mountain bikes. We've got full carbon trail bikes from Evil, Ibis, Santa Cruz, Devinci, and Norco, decked out with the same parts we all ride on our bikes. Whether you're just in town looking to go for a rip, or you're looking to try before you buy, we've got you covered. To sweeten the deal, we'll refund up to three demo bike fees if you purchase a bike of similar value from us.

Mark & Kathy Salisbury

Store Founders/Owners

Wife and husband team Kathy and Mark Salisbury started Fanatik Bike Co. in 2004 with a vision to provide Bellingham cycling enthusiasts with expert service and the best products in the industry. Mark and Kathy both grew up riding bikes, but it wasn't until the early 2000's that the enthusiasm of their own children rekindled their love of cycling. Ultimately this is what led them to opening the store. Mark and Kathy both reside in Bellingham and spend lots of time with their two kids and grandchildren.

Joe Crosby

Service Manager

@crojosby

Joe, like many of us, moved to Bellingham for the riding. He’s been riding bikes as long as he can remember, and he loves pretty much any trail that points down. He started racing downhill in 2009, and eventually ended up in Durango, CO attending Fort Lewis College riding for their cycling team. Joe enjoys working with our passionate crew here at Fanatik, and frequently builds many of our custom dream bikes that ship out all over the country. When he’s not around bikes, he’s likely spending time with his lady and their pack of dogs.

Will Hilbert

Mechanic

@willchilbert

Born and raised in Annapolis, MD, Will has been in Washington for a little over three years. His love of bikes started as a kid riding a BMX bike. That pursuit landed him at what turned into a 10 year stint working at his hometown bike shop where he learned all the tricks of the bike mechanic trade. His coworkers there turned him on to XC and enduro mountain bike racing, and ever since then he's been hooked. Will is fortunate enough to be able to commute to work via mountain bike, and on his days off makes the time to explore the vast trail networks in the PNW and in neighboring British Columbia. As the head mechanic at Fanatik Bike Co., he spends his time building high end MTB wheels, servicing suspension, and rebuilding RockShox Reverbs. His favorite dinner is breakfast, and aside from riding bikes, you might find him strumming on the banjo or bass, or practicing his piano skills.

Riley Jones

Inventory Master & Receiving

@rileyevanjones

Riley is a Washington native, hailing from the picturesque town of Mukilteo, which rests on the Puget Sound just north of Seattle. He has never strayed far from his home state for long - Riley knows a good thing when he sees it. He tried his hand mountain biking as a youngster, but was sidelined for some time by road biking and triathlons. This phase came to a climax at a Wisconsin Ironman, where he came in first. That isn't true, but he did finish the race. After that he rediscovered dirt, and now spends much of his time getting out for lengthy pedals in the woods, shredding laps at the Whistler Bike Park, or ripping around town checking out the local breweries. When at work, you can find Riley holding down the sales floor, typically with a coffee in hand. A few of his favorite things are snowboarding in Canada, espresso, and ice cream.

Doug Jambor

Digital Content Creator

@sports_doug

Doug was born and raised in Washington state, then took off for the mountain biking mecca of Bend, Oregon to pursue freelance film-making. He landed some great gigs shooting for Kirt Voreis, Niner Bikes, Loam Wolf, Cam McCaul, and more. Doug's skill behind the lens as well as in the editing studio made him a great fit when he decided to move back to WA state for the media job here at Fanatik. He's a total ripper on a bike, and the videos he produces speak for themselves. While freelancing had it's benefits, Doug loves the Fanatik environment, being surrounded by passionate team members, and of course, BIKES! When he's not at work, Doug is usually out in the woods playing with cameras and bikes, hanging out with his wife and dog, and listening to music.

Jason Kasari

Warranty Manager / Mechanic

@1jasonlikesbikes

Growing up in Bend Oregon, Jason was always around bikes and the outdoors. Working at a local bike shop introduced him to mountain biking, and before long, became a life passion. While Bend is a fantastic area for mountain biking, Jason knew Bellingham was the place for him after a couple of visits to the area. Along his life-path to cycling nirvana, Jason has ridden many-a-bike, including but not limited to dirt jumpers, cyclocross, cross-country, downhill, enduro, all mountain, freeride and the occasional unicycle. Still a fresh Bellingham transplant, Jason is enjoying exploring and ripping around Galbraith and other local trails, and always looking for opportunities to go "full send".

@kristianduft

Online Order Fulfillment/Shipping

Kristian spent many years as a young shop customer, and eventually joined our race team where he raced for us for three seasons. It was an easy fit when he applied to work here, and we’re happy to have his enthusiasm. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge, and he’s always eager to learn more. Kristian enjoys pedaling singletrack up with a bit of tech or exposure and some nice views - as long as there’s two wheels and chain, he’s happy. When he’s not on the bike, Kristian is likely training for his racing career, or out digging on a local trail. While much of his life revolves around bikes, he does manage to make some room for his art/media/creative side.
