Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Reviews

Good quality product. Very useful during evening commute. My only regret is that it doesn’t provide much light into the road ahead, but overall, works. Good product. Would recommend

I like it. It looks and feels good. My favorite feature is the hole you can weave your security cable through.

Perfect ride! In love all day every day

Feels solid, comfortable and easy to ride. Picking up the bike from the local bike store was quick and easy. What more could I ask for?

My adult daughter researched the most comfortable bicycles and told me about
Brooklyn bicycles - her dad and I purchased it for her for Christmas and she absolutely loves it!!!!!

Really cool design and very functional. Great customer support and response.

Of course, it’s a great bike with an expensive purchase! I ordered 2 bikes, but one wrong size, blue one no more small size. They don’t let us exchange! And we had a little issue, but working out! So far we love to ride them!

I really am impressed with the quality, durability, and brightness of the lights. The bell also is great, it has a really pleasant sound while being loud!

Not only is it an exceptional ride, I receive compliments every single time I ride it. The craftsmanship is excellent and the bike is just plain beautiful and everyone notices.

I got the Willow 3 speed to replace my aging daily bike, which was a 10 year old hybrid. I live in an area with very mild and short hills, so I figured 3 speeds should be enough. They are, but I wish gear inches were included in the specs sheet. For anything like groceries (two panniers) or pulling a Burley kid trailer, it's been great.
A few observations:
- I'm a 5'9 male, the large frame fits well. Handling is very smooth and stable, both at low and high speed, with and without rear weight, really liking how this bike rides. Looking back, of course it's more comfortable to ride on a step through frame and to have a kick stand.
- I replaced the rear rack with something more sturdy, the one that came with the bike is fine for lighter weights but I regularly carry 20 lb of groceries in two panniers. Super easy to swap the rear rack. The fenders seem to work just fine. The saddle it comes with is fine, but I upgraded to a Brooks B67 that I had from before, and it really suits the bike both functionally and in style
- Wondering why it comes with caliper brakes instead of V-brakes, but they work well enough
- Not specific to the Willow, but very large panniers may interfere with the "bell crank", the piece that sticks out on the right side of the rear hub to shift gears

I’m loving this bike. I needed something to get around my neighborhood and especially something that I wouldn’t need to change clothes for. The step through, fenders, eight speed, and kickstand all fit the bill now just need a basket to finish it up! Also love that they partner with a local small business!!

Love the bike price was OK but you got to pay for quality the bike shop in dallas was great and the owner set me up with finders and rack free adjustments and was able to maintain the bike

I got the Franklin bike in red. The bike is so cute. I love the leather handles and seat, the shiny coat of paint, and rims of the wheels. The ride is super smooth. Switching gears is a breeze, and I can bike up the hills a little more easily than on my old used bike. Excited to keep riding!

It is a beautiful bike- giving as Christmas/ Birthday gift to my son -in-law- he is a professor and wants to ride to work!
It was easy order, price is good and the fact is was assembled in town for us to pick up was so convenient!

I have never owned an upright bike like Driggs, and was skeptical but after reading the reviews, decided to give it a try. I commute to work and was looking for something that I could join the rotation with my other bikes. Now, I hardly ever ride another bike to work, or to run errands. I usually reach for my Driggs, and it has never failed me. The internal gear hub is especially useful when riding on streets where you need to make a lot of stops, sometimes quite quickly. In addition to commuting work, I ride Driggs for everything: biking around the neighborhood, going to the farmer’s market, and running errands. All types and brands of bags fit nicely on the back rack, and I have carried $300 worth of groceries several times. The bike is incredibly fun to ride, durable, and looks fantastic. I subbed a black Brooks saddle and NS pedals but saved the original components (of course). I am so impressed with the Brooklyn quality and brand, I just bought two more bikes — a Bedford 8 speed for me, and Roebling for my wife. I can’t wait for her to experience riding a Brooklyn.

I cannot be happier with this bike. It’s fast yet durable and incredibly smooth. It has everything I was looking for to get around town.

I bought this set, and I was really excited about them! They are very bright, and I love that I can charge them with the USB easily. Unfortunately, the red light will randomly turn off in the middle of my ride. I'll turn it back on and within a minute, it shuts off again even after a full charge.

I am an avid Bicyclist from North Germany, where "we" bike like in the Netherlands. The reason i got the willow was to get a bike that is very similar to the dutch Omafiets. I am not disappointed. It is a wonderful bike. I like the very upright riding position as well as the 3 speeds and the protector around the chain. And of course the front basket. the 3 speeds make sure that iam warming my muscles and do some workout. There is only one thing that could make me even happier and that would be coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are much safer and require almost no physical force. They work in any weather and they are just very intuitive. I know that is a lot to ask as they seem to be for children's bikes only in the US. But it could be a very way to make bikes safer for elderly people.
if you ever get a willow with coaster brakes let me know. But that is the only caveat and a very minor one, to my new bike. Now i am out and about after 15 years of being without a bike. It is wonderful

The Roebling is great for any terrain and creates an amazing riding experience. It is super light and perfect for small inclines. This is my first full size bike and is the perfect intro to long bike rides. It makes me want to go on bike rides every day.

I needed a quality all around bike. The Roebling was my first brand new bike purchase. I couldn't be happier. Love the build quality. The bike shop that my Roebling was sent to be built did an outstanding job. Wanted to buy this bike during the Pandemic, but was sold out quickly. Took a year, but finally have it. Definitely make sure you try on the bike for sizing. I wanted a large thinking the medium would be too small, but of course it was a perfect fit when I actually sat on it in person.

The mounting mechanism didn’t quite fit on my type of rack. But I liked the crate so much that I just figured I’d use some zip ties through the bottom slats. It’s pretty solidly attached and the zip ties are nearly invisible. I also spray lacquered the crate…will see how it holds up. So far so good!

These lights are very easy to clip on anywhere on your bike, the steering bar or the seat bar, wherever you prefer. I would recommend the uptown for just a little more given they are rechargeable and brighter. If you want a great value option this is definitely the one!

I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The bike fits me perfectly and is comfortable. But it also begs to be ridden fast. Whoever designed the frame knew exactly what they were doing. Outstanding customer service as well. Can't ask for more.

I got a black, 3 Speed Willow. It is a beautiful bike. I use it to commute everyday, it is very comfortable and easy to handle. I am very happy with my purchase.

The bars were very easy to install, no need to take to the bike shop, just took it slow and easy. Picked up all metric specific tools. My wife and I tried them and it really allows for an upright ride, great bike control, and removes all spine pressure. I think I am going to purchase the bars for my bike as well. Highly recommended and price is right!
