I am so happy with my Lorimer bike from Brooklyn Bicycle Co.

My first bike in a long time. I accidentally stumbled across Brooklyn Bicycle and I am sooo glad I did. Ryan and the team helped me choose my bike and just I love my Lorimer bike because it is light weight, fast, and very comfortable and easy to ride. It was so easy.. like riding a bike.

Hi Cynthia. We're thrilled to hear you're loving your Lorimer bike. We enjoyed working with you. -Ryan Zagata

I love my new bicycle! Ordering it was quick and efficient, and Brooklyn Bicycle Co. even shipped it to a local bike shop for professional assembly at no additional cost—without me having to request it. The entire process was seamless, and I highly recommend Brooklyn Bicycle Co.!

What a Cruiser

I really love this bike. I have a road bike and a mountain and now I have this cruiser to just enjoy around town. My son rides around comfortably on the mounted rack and I feel so stable. Couldn't recommend this bike enough.

We're thrilled to hear you love the Franklin 8 Speed Kelly. It sounds like it's become the perfect cruiser bike for your adventures around town. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for recommending us. -Ryan Zagata
