We service all bikes.

Welcome to Black Saddle.

We ask that you please wear a mask when visiting the shop.

We’d love to see you at Madison’s newest bike shop on the historic northside. We’re in the Lakewood Plaza on the corner of Sherman and Commercial next to Bear & Bottle!

Here's the story

Black Saddle is a bicycle shop. If you come through the door, you are welcome. This is a brave space. Opening Black Saddle has been a two year journey of learning, faking when needed, planning, failing and rebuilding. Ultimately we're here to service your bike with pride - that's our main gig. Any bike, two wheels, three wheels, e-bike, trike and all the like. We also do stock and custom bikes well. All built with care. We're excited to work with you. Come on in, the coffee is on and the music is playing.

The @swiftindustries Zeitgeist is a front or rear

The @swiftindustries Zeitgeist is a front or rear bag. It has a sturdy crossbar that creates a rigid mounting point. It also comes with foam blocks that help keep brake and shift housing from getting smooshed. It's a very beautiful, hand made in USA bag. We currently have two in coyote and one in a very nice green. Thanks for looking. Smooches.

Lynn splits their time between Tampa and Madison because hell yeah. Lynn was looking for a bike to cruise around Maple Bluff and get groceries and hang out. The @surlybikes Bridge Club is the perfect choice for those chill vibes. Thanks again, Lynn.

Hard stylin' with that @surlybikes Cross Check because Michael's just taking it easy like Sunday morning on a Friday. @rusty_bikez has been wanting to get back on a Surly for a minute and see? Dreamz do come true!

We're pedaling out to Gibraltar Rock this Sunday adding to the goal of 100 riders benefiting @radical.adventure.riders' SJ Brooks Scholarship.

There's an event page on our FB as well and that includes the route.

Bunk in Pike Shop. Richard standing next to the @surlybikes Krampus. A mosh machine capable of getting you through the gnarliest of pits but subtle enough to quietly wake up at 5am and eat room temp pizza.

BS had a great showing at the Battle of Camrock today. @madcitydirt.mtb put together what we think is the premier race course in the WORS series because it caters to the true essence of mountain biking. @bzy_b won first overall in his class, @avilesa24 took second and @_nicktempleton took third. There were even a few podium misses thrown in as well!

For every rider who rides to Gibraltar Rock in Jul

For every rider who rides to Gibraltar Rock in July, we will donate $10 to the @radical.adventure.riders ' SJ Brooks Scholarship Fund. Our goal is 100 riders, and we want YOU to be one of them! 🙌 Click JOIN on the Challenge and track a ride of 10mi or more to Gibraltar Rock using Ride Spot before July 31st. All riders who help us reach our goal will be entered to win some fun little goodies from @cafedomestiquemadison , some Black Saddle pocketbooks from @mordecaibookbuilding and THREE lucky winners will receive a super fun Feedbag from @sturdybag_designs . @radical.adventure.riders work to enhance gender inclusivity and racial equity in the bicycle and outdoor adventure scene.

Just want to take a second and thank everyone who

Just want to take a second and thank everyone who has supported this bike shop. I especially want to thank the Northside for welcoming us into the community. Today was our biggest day since we opened the doors Feb 1, 2020. I want to thank the BS crew for showing up daily and grinding with positive attitudes and puting the folks who walk through the door before themselves. I also want to apologize to the people we sometimes let down or can't fulfill their needs. Big, POSITIVE VIBES to everyone doing their thing today and everyday!!!

Smooches.

We want to apologize for lying the other day when

We want to apologize for lying the other day when we said the @surlybikes Midnight Specials would be in next week. We're not upset about them showing up early, just surprised. It's like getting a present a few days early. We have a 56 built up and trying to get the others built quickly. This bike is a 650b rocket with built in stability. It's a ripper!

.

ALERT! We're open today, tomorrow AND Monday!

Ben is our Madison bicycle maps courier. They're free to you and useful. For that we're grateful. Ben dropped off 100 maps last week and enjoyed a test ride on a Karate Monkey. We were building up a Krampus and Ben asked to come back and test that. That was that; add the @surlybikes rear rack and get to haulin'! Thanks, Ben!

Mario nabbed our last 2020 @allcitycycles single speed Super Professional. Mario needed a bike to get rad and cruise around Madison with the kids. This frame definitely has one of the better paint jobs we've seen - not to mention that sweet All City attention to detail!

Took the week to let the @swiftindustries campout

Took the week to let the @swiftindustries campout ride sink in. It was wonderful seeing how many people showed up. The final count was over 25! We all supported each other and when there was a flat EVERYONE stopped and waited. That just shows tremendous respect for the ride and the people who participate. We met so many great people and even had one puppy join us. Huge thank you to everyone who helped plan and make this a huge success. Thanks to @rustydogcoffee for bringing the coffee Sunday morning! See you on the next one!

@surlybikes Krampus. Plow through, roll over, go down, up, around anything. Rail berms, get air, get rowdy, stay comfy. Add a dropper or not. Suspension? Sure. 3" tires that get grabby. Sizes S-XL. We could go on but the coffee ís brewing.
