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

Perfect. Got panniers on it, ready to go.

Thanks for sharing Joseph. The rear carriers are very utilitarian, especially when you load on a pannier. -Ryan Zagata

I love it!

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback Steve. -Ryan Zagata

My wife who is new to cycling loves it. We’ve been riding every day since it arrived!

Thanks so much for sharing. We're thrilled your wife is enjoying her Willow 3. -Ryan Zagata

Thank so much for sharing Steve. We are thrilled that you're loving your Driggs 3. It's our signature model. -Ryan Zagata
