Done with bikes-in-a-box?

We don't ship a box and a YouTube link.

Every Brooklyn Bicycle ships pro-assembled to a partner bike shop in your zip code. You pick it up dialed in, fitted, and ready to ride.

What 'free shipping' usually means

A box on your porch isn't a bike. It's homework.

If you've ordered a bike online, you know the drill. Here's what's actually waiting for you when 'free shipping' arrives.

  • An hour of YouTube videos. Most riders quit halfway and call a shop anyway.
  • $80 to $200 in shop assembly fees that the seller forgot to mention.
  • Brakes that aren't aligned. Derailleurs that need indexing. Tires inflated to 100 PSI for shipping.
  • If anything is wrong, you ship it back. The 'warranty' is a return form, not a relationship.

A bike that arrives in a box isn't ready to ride. It's a kit.

What Buy & Ride does instead

Free assembly at a real bike shop. Always.

We partnered with hundreds of independent bike shops across the country. Your bike ships to one near you. They assemble it, tune it, and call you when it's ready.

01

Pro mechanic assembly, free

A real mechanic builds your bike from frame up. Brakes aligned, derailleur tuned, wheels true, tires at correct pressure.

02

In-person fitting before you ride away

Saddle height, stem reach, brake lever position. Adjusted for your body before you leave the shop.

03

Local relationship, lifetime

When something needs service, you have a shop who knows you and the bike. Not a 1-800 number.

"We built Buy & Ride because we're independent bike shop owners' biggest fans - the shops that helped us when we started 14 years ago. Buy & Ride keeps your dollars in your community AND gets you a better bike at the same price."

Answers before you buy

Enter your ZIP at checkout. The system finds the nearest partner shop, usually within 10 miles in major US metros. If there's no partner near you, we arrange shipping to a non-partner shop and cover the assembly fee.
