With eight gears and puncture-resistant tires allowing you to conquer varied terrain, this bike is as versatile as it is handsome.

Every bicycle includes free shipping AND professional assembly through our Buy & Ride Program. Once your bike ships, you'll be riding within 14 business days.

Our number one priority is making your bicycle purchase as simple as possible- while also ensuring the bicycle you receive is up to our stringent quality requirements. That's why we ship every one of our bicycles to a hand-selected local bike shop for professional assembly. Once it's fully assembled and ready to ride, you simply head into the shop and roll out the door!

Our industry leading Buy & Ride program was the first of its kind. Through years of experience, and a large network of partner shops across the country, we've perfected the process.

There are several factors to consider when choosing your new bike, and we're here to help!

We highly recommend reading our Bike Buying Guide, along with watching the video. You'll want to consider your preferences on things like frame style and gearing range, and take into account how you'll be using your bike, and on what terrain.

We also recommend taking our Bike Finder Quiz which will point you in the right direction based upon your considerations. 

And finally, it's important to note that bike sizing is not universal across brands, nor across models. Each bike has a unique geometry which means different sizing. Please consult the sizing guide recommendations.

If you have any questions or are between sizes, please contact us for personalized guidance and we'd happy to assist!

This warranty is non-transferrable and covers manufacturing defects, not user-incurred damage, unforeseen accidents, and/or everyday wear and tear. You can read our full warranty here.

All of our models have a carefully-considered sizing guide on their product page. In addition to the sizing guide, we encourage you to watch our how-to video, which'll show you how to properly measure your inseam. For extra reassurance, you can also take our three-question Size Finder quiz.

If you're still unsure of sizing, or just want confirmation that you’re making the right choice, give us a call at 800.631.0630, live chat with a team member, or contact us. You can also schedule a call with our Bike Concierge.

Great question! While both bikes offer a wide gearing range with puncture-resistant tires, the Bedford offers a more relaxed riding position than the Roebling.

Absolutely! The Bedford has all the braze-ons (mounting points) you'd need to add things like fenders, a rear rack, a front basket, or a water bottle cage. No need to worry about a kickstand as the Bedford already comes equipped with one!

A Alonso (Long Beach, United States)
Best bicycle west of the Hudson

Love the bike. Live in a hilly terrain and it is perfect. Have had it for about a month and have been riding it 50+ miles everyday; no complaints.

Thanks so much for sharing Alonso and we're thrilled to have you back for your 2nd bike. We like to think we're the best bicycle east of the Hudson also. -Ryan Zagata

My Brooklyn Bomber

My wife bought me this bike for my birthday and it is a lightweight, fast, very agile bicycle! It is the perfect city bike and yet equally at home on paved paths in parks and natural preserves. You guys make an excellent bicycle!

Thanks so much for sharing. So clever of your wife to get you a new steed for your birthday. We're glad it's delivering as promised and we're thrilled to have you as part of the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Bedford 8?

I won this beaut from a local liquor distributor and it's so amazing!! I'm more of a long board type guy and spend my time on mostly that, electric and accustic but I can't stay off this thing!! Probably 50 miles this week!! I've even tackled some monster hills and still showed up looking almost as clean as the bike 😎

Thanks so much for sharing. While this was a custom bike we designed in collaboration with New Belgium and not identical to our Bedford 8, we are thrilled you're enjoying the ride quality which is consistent across all of our models. -Ryan Zagata
