I like the city bike…I like sitting upright and after many yrs out of the saddle this is working great for me. 😊

Thanks for sharing Paulette. We are glad to learn that you are enjoying your Franklin 3. - Ryan Zagata

Really happy.

At 5'2", it's really great to find a bike that fits.
The shop that was picked to assemble the bike was really friendly and professional.
It's a fabulous bike.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback Margaret. We are thrilled you're enjoying your Franklin 8. -Ryan Zagata

Willow 3 Speed

Perfect. Bicycle and Customer Service

I meant to write this a lot sooner. The bicycle is great. I am enjoying riding her around Baton Rouge, though it sometimes feels like an extreme sport. A cyclist, I have come to realise, is somewhat rare in these parts (and more than a little unwanted). Regardless, I persevere because I love cycling and hate cars and I am used to cycling. It was a fair bit safer in Europe, I got knocked off twice here already and this never happened to me before, but I am hoping that more people will take to cycling and then things will get better. Anyway I am not planning on stopping.
The bicycle is very trusty and beautifully designed. She withstood two pickup trucks so far (hopefully there won’t be more, but they have drive through Daiquiris here).
Excellent customer service throughout. Hassle free. Friendly.
Would have wrote this much sooner (got bicycle last June) but my mother died unexpectedly and so I went home to the UK for a while.

Thank you for sharing such a thorough review Violet. We are glad you've emerged unscathed from the daquiri drinking drivers. Thanks also for sharing such a fun photo. -Ryan Zagata

Super good end to end experience

Super informative website, easy online ordering and the delivery to a local bike shop for assembly and pickup made the whole exercise a positive experience. As I live interstate it made a big difference. Thank you

The bike is beautiful and given as a Christmas Gift to my nephew, he LOVES IT!
It is well made, not too heavy, streamline, fits the parameters for metro travel, easy to ride and all around a beautiful bike we are expecting to ride a long time!

Thank you so much for sharing and for the specific points highlighted why your nephew emphatically LOVED IT. -Ryan Zagata

Alloy Center Mount Kickstand
Carl Jonke Jr (Cleveland, United States)
Upgraded Center Mount Kickstand

We have an older model bicycle from around 2015. Old Kickstand kept bike with more on a lean, like a chance it would fall over. New kickstand seams to keep bike standing straight up. It's very sturdy and better made than the last one. So far it's been great.

Thank you for sharing Carl. We're glad the kickstand did the job for you. - Ryan Zagata

Commuter Bundle Plus
Linda Bolliger (New Orleans, United States)
Great bike accessories

Strong lock. Rechargeable front and back lights with multiple settings (I use slow blinking one.)
And an easy to reach bell that does not startle people too much.

Thanks for sharing Linda. Love that you added on the commuter bundle to get yourself going quickly. We appreciate the feedback. -Ryan Zagata

My beautiful red Willow bike!

Comfortable to ride. Takes bumps on streets and paths well. Brakes well. Beautiful red color.

Having fun on my Willow.

Great to learn you're putting your Willow through the paces and she's responding as expected. -Ryan Zagata

Jim Lokey (Atlanta, United States)

I ordered a bicycle as a Christmas gift for my grandson. I definitely ordered it later than I should have for delivery and assembly by Christmas. Nevertheless, it arrived on time, assembly was seamless, and the bicycle is beautiful. Kudos to Brooklyn Bicycles.

Thanks for sharing Jim. We are glad the timeline worked out in your favor. We appreciate your business. -Ryan Zagata

Awesome bicycle and worth every penny!

Great styling, workmanship, and classy touches. Shifts like a dream and stops with a prompt and confidence-boosting sureness. So worth It.!

Commuter Bundle Plus

Commuter Bundle Plus

I received the Commuter Bundle as part of a promotion when I purchased my bicycle.
The frint and rear have a nice flash position to help visibility.
The lock and cable look like a quality product as well.
I don't know if I need the bell but the canvas bag is another nice addition.

Thanks for sharing PK. Glad the lights, lock and tote are delivering as promised. - Ryan Zagata

Freebies

The lights and bag were provided as an enticement to buy the bike. The lights are great. Four settings and they show up very well. The bag is quality. I use it as a grocery bag.

Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear that the lights and tote were well received and serving you well. -Ryan Zagata

Rear Carrier
Israel Morales (Dallas, United States)
Best company ever!!

I can’t say enough amazing things about this company. Not only are the products fantastic, but the care for the customer is remarkable. I got my wife the rear carrier for her basket and it was super easy to install. She loves how durable and comfortable the carrier sits on the bike.

Best company and totally recommend for any bike lover!

Bedford 8
Josh Luft (New York, United States)
Bedford 8 Speed

What a sweet ride! Hadn't had a bike in several years. First ride, on the way home from the shop—Silk Road Cycles rules—gliding around Greenpoint on my new Bedford 8 Speed, the sun setting, a crisp breeze blowing, I was thinking, "Oh yeah, this is the stuff." Can't recommend Brooklyn Bicycle Co. enough! Great bikes, great service!

Oh yeah Josh, this IS the stuff. Thanks so much for your enthusiastic review and welcome to the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. We will be on the lookout for you around the hood. -Ryan Zagata

Love the Bedford 8

New Bicycle

I was looking for an affordable steel framed bicycle to get back into riding again.
The Roebling fit the bill for me.
The purchase and delivery to a local shop was seamless
I can recommend dealing with Brooklyn Bicycle Company.

Thank you PK. We're thrilled you are enjoying your Roebling and were able to experience our Buy & Ride program which is our pride and joy. -Ryan Zagata

Bedford 8
Jesse Tate (Travelers Rest, United States)
A lot of bike for the money

My Bedford 8 was inexpensive but not cheap. Good components, great ride, beautiful bike. It’s got everything you need in a commuter, around town bike and no gimmicky bells and whistles that you don’t need. Brooklyn’s customer service quality is not found very often these days. Real folks you can talk to and questions answered and issues taken care of quickly. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Thanks so much Jesse. We are thrilled you are enjoying your Bedford and we appreciate you acknowledging the team's effort in providing a great experience. Enjoy the ride. - Ryan Zagata
