SADDLE LIBRARY.jpeg

A saddle can make or break a ride, make your bike your best friend or your worst enemy.  We're here to help you find one that supports you in all the right places and makes you want to ride.


Welcome to the Saddle Library.

How does it work?

STEP 1: SIGN UP! Come by YOU DURING OUR HOURS and WE CAN SIGN YOU UP IN THE STORE WHILE WE TALK ABOUT WHICH SADDLES MIGHT BE A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR YOU GIVEN ANY INFORMATION YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE SHARING ABOUT YOUR SADDLE NEEDS. FOR $30 YOU GET A LIBRARY CARD, WITH THIS YOU CAN TRY OUT ONE SADDLE AT A TIME FOR ONE WEEK*. 

STEP 2: TAKE THE SADDLE HOME WITH YOU. GO ON A TYPICAL RIDE. THEN GO ON ANOTHER ONE. MAYBE ONE MORE FOR GOOD MEASURE. HOW DOES IT FEEL?  DECIDE IF IT'S THE SADDLE OF YOUR DREAMS. 

STEP 3:  DREAM SADDLE? BRING THE TEST SADDLE BACK IN AND WE'LL TRADE IT OUT FOR A BRAND NEW ONE. NOT A LOVE MATCH? WE'LL GET YOU SET UP WITH DIFFERENT SADDLES FOR YOU TO TAKE HOME AND TRY OUT UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR SADDLE SOULMATE.

Which saddles do you have?

We aim to have diverse line-up of saddles in stock to accommodate many types of bodies and riding styles and carry models from: Brooks, Terry, Ergon, Specialized, Fizik, Selle Anatomica, Selle Royal, WTB and Giant. We don’t have this inventory online as it is constantly changing.

There is an inventory shortage across the board, so if you want to check out what saddles we have in the library/in stock before signing up, that is perfect.

Covid-19 affects and notes:

to nobody’s surprise there has been a pretty huge saddle/inventory shortage this past year and a half. That means it all the more important to be patient with one another and discuss saddle inventory before signing up for the Library. We truly want to do our best to set you up with as many saddle loans as you need to find the dreamy one.

*LATE FEE POLICY*

We want you to have the time to check out all the saddles and find the right one, really we do. However, as the saddle library gets more and more popular and the waiting lists to try certain saddles grow, we have to be stricter about getting the saddles back on time.  So, for every extra day you keep the saddle without calling/emailing in advance to give us a really good excuse and asking very nicely for an extension, you will be charged $2. These late fees will not be counted towards the price of the saddle.
