Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Buy & Ride — Why every bike is assembled at a local shop

Most bikes you buy online arrive the same way: large cardboard box, Allen wrench taped inside, folded instruction sheet. You spend two hours on YouTube wondering why the handlebars won't sit straight. Brooklyn Bicycle Co. does it differently — and deliberately. Every Brooklyn Bicycle Co. bike ships directly to a local bike shop near you, where a professional mechanic assembles it completely before you ever touch it.

I’m a 5’1 rider and this bike is great for my height. Not too heavy, and easy to shift gears! The local bike shop that assembled my bike did a great job and assembled it quickly.

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

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
