Great Bike for Getting Around

I bought the Driggs 8i Disc three months ago for commuting and running errands in hilly Omaha, Nebraska. It's a joy to ride. Brooklyn Bicycle shipped it to my regular bike shop for assembly. The Driggs is designed for comfortable transportation in an upright riding position, hill-climbing, easy maintenance, and accessorizing. You can see in the picture that I've had a ball accessorizing mine to the max!

Hi Curtis, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your Driggs 8i. It sounds like you've made it your own special ride. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy cycling in Omaha. -Ryan Zagata

Absolutely great

It's great and I find very useful and cool looking

Thank you William. We're glad you're getting some good use out of your carrier. -Ryan Zagata

My dream bicycle

I can’t even begin to express the wonder that is this bicycle. This is the wife of the buyer, the recipient of this lovely coral cruiser. I wanted the coral beach cruiser but it was out of stock. My husband called and asked them how he could get his hands on this bicycle for his wife’s birthday. They said, ‘let us see what we can do.’ And they made it happen. I gifted my husband the sea glass cruiser for his birthday the month before. Now we ride bikes with the kids a few times a week. I ride with the kids to and from school every day. My kid was so jealous of the comfy seat on our bikes. Her bike was a hand me down. I got her an upgraded cushy seat.

The Bicycle Business in Sacramento built our bikes and are also amazing to work with. Brooklyn Bicycle, you have customers for life. Thank you for this dreamboat of a ride. If I can share pics I will.

Where to begin? Love that you've got the his & hers bikes and truly appreciate you sharing so much photos. We also appreciate you acknowledging your experience with our partner shop. -Ryan Zagata
