Chamber has Ribbon Cutting for “Greasy Fingers Bikes n Repair”


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes “Greasy Fingers Bikes n Repair” to the Greater Sandpoint area. They provide a full service bike shop which includes the sale of new and used bicycles, parts, and accessories. They also offer professional bike repair and maintenance to keep bicycles in top condition for an afternoon ride on a North Idaho summer day.

Anderson intends to promote biking in the Sandpoint community and will offer mechanical support for local rides and events. He will also lead weekly rides and organize group rides throughout the summer giving area residents a chance to get out and enjoy the scenery of the surrounding area. Offering clinics to increase biker’s general and mechanical knowledge, Anderson strives to keep bicyclists safe and their equipment at optimum performance. Check their website for clinic dates and upcoming rides.

“Our goal is to help you get the most out of your bike,” says Anderson, a 4th generation Sandpoint native. Brian holds several certifications and has completed formal bicycle training in all areas ranging from professional repair to Bicycle Fitting.

Anderson joined the Marines out of high school, traveled the world and then pursued a double major at UCLA. After moving back to Sandpoint where he missed the hiking, biking and snowboarding he grew up with, Anderson became involved with the Pend Oreille Pedalers. He was soon elected Treasurer and has served on the board ever since. As the club’s current President, the Pend Oreille Pedalers has blossomed into over 150 members. Anderson has graciously volunteered in events such as 24 Hours for Hank and ChaFe 150 and is passionate about promoting biking in the community.

Hours of operation are 10:00 am to 6:00pm Tuesday through Friday and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Saturdays. There is a convenient parking lot on the premise for easy loading and unloading of bicycles. Shop offers a friendly environment, cup of coffee and a place to relax as bicycles are being repaired or maintenanced.

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes Greasy Fingers Bikes n Repair success in our community. For more information, contact them at (208) 255-4496 or visit their website at www.greasyfingersbikes.com.
