Why You Won’t Find Coaster Brakes on Our Bikes

We get it. Coaster brakes are simple, clean, and intuitive. But since we started building bikes back in 2011, we’ve been hyper-focused on safety. And for us, coaster brakes represent a dealbreaker: a single point of failure that’s too big to ignore.

Absolutely great

It's great and I find very useful and cool looking

Thank you William. We're glad you're getting some good use out of your carrier. -Ryan Zagata

My dream bicycle

I can’t even begin to express the wonder that is this bicycle. This is the wife of the buyer, the recipient of this lovely coral cruiser. I wanted the coral beach cruiser but it was out of stock. My husband called and asked them how he could get his hands on this bicycle for his wife’s birthday. They said, ‘let us see what we can do.’ And they made it happen. I gifted my husband the sea glass cruiser for his birthday the month before. Now we ride bikes with the kids a few times a week. I ride with the kids to and from school every day. My kid was so jealous of the comfy seat on our bikes. Her bike was a hand me down. I got her an upgraded cushy seat.

The Bicycle Business in Sacramento built our bikes and are also amazing to work with. Brooklyn Bicycle, you have customers for life. Thank you for this dreamboat of a ride. If I can share pics I will.

Where to begin? Love that you've got the his & hers bikes and truly appreciate you sharing so much photos. We also appreciate you acknowledging your experience with our partner shop. -Ryan Zagata

Bike lights

Small lightweight bike lights with integral rechargeable batteries are great.

Thanks so much for sharing Bill. -Ryan Zagata

A fun ride that's great in quality and price

I've had my Wythe Fixie for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. I appreciate the minimalist approach and sleek look. The steel frame feels very sturdy and well put together. This is such a fun bike to ride, that's great in quality and price.

Thanks for taking the time to come back and share your feedback Frandy. Your 'one-year-later' perspective is super helpful. -Ryan Zagata

Thank you for sharing George. -Ryan Zagata

Perfect city bike

Great bike and smooth ride! Love how light it is as well I have to carry my bike up and down a flight of stairs so it’s nice that it isn’t a pain. Even though it’s light it does not feel fragile at all! Also a huge fan of the free assembly was able to walk to the bike shop and ride home

Thanks so much Kyle. Thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with the brand and your Roebling commuter bike. - Ryan Zagata
