This is a great bike!

This is a great bike for a 60 year old female! It’s lightweight and there’s just enough gears for getting around a college town, nothing complicated. Plus, it looks nice!

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback Leslie. While we're glad you're seeing the bike as a head turner, the feedback on the ride is where our team perks up. Glad to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

This bike is the most enjoyable ride I’ve had since my last bike, which is a Brooklyn willow 7 (cr-mo frame). I love the two Brooklyn bikes I have- simple, but good. I also love the Grant Petersen inspired frame geometries- comfortable but responsive, not sluggish. I am 76 yrs. old, and have ridden my whole life ( and owned all sorts of bikes).Brooklyn bikes are well thought out.

Thanks a bunch Robert - that's been our tagline 'Everything you need, nothing you don't' - glad you're feeling the same. We're thrilled to have you add another of our bikes to your stable. -Ryan Zagata

Happily tackling NYC

Brooklyn-native here. Beyond easy to order and get my bike from a local shop, Two Seas. Perfect for cruising my commutes. Stable, simple, and well-priced.

Thanks for sharing Shane. Love this photo and we love that you're putting the bike through the paces here in Brooklyn. Happy to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Adjustable Rear Carrier
John Lindsay (Oconomowoc, United States)
adjustability is a big plus

I haven't mounted it yet, because the bike is in the building stage, but it is similar to racks I have used in the past, plus the adjustability gives me options for placing eyelets, etc., on the new bike.

We appreciate you sharing your experience John. The adjustability of this carrier makes it easy to fit all size wheels as you suggest. -Ryan Zagata

amazing bike

It was made so easy to choose the right size for me and it got to me so much quicker than expected! Only problem was that it showed that my bike was ready when it wasn’t but overall a really great experience and definitely a great ride.

Driggs 8i Disc

the Green Machine

I bought the bike for my commute in and out of downtown to work. It's the happiest purchase I've made in a long time.
Delivery was speedy and painless. Brooklyn arranged, as part of the purchase, to have the bike shipped to my local bike shop, only two blocks away, for assembly. That went smoothly and I picked the bike up, adventure ready, in only a few days.
The bike is Green but its purpose is Green as well. Commuting in and out of work, biking to the local Aldi and urban adventures in the city from a perspective no seen by many: bike level.
Physically the bike is a great fit. The bike shop adjusted the saddle to the perfect high.
Structurally its comfortable and welll built. As a tall man of a certain age and heft, I don't feel as if I am riding a toy nor driving a tank. I get on, pedal off and get on with life.

Thanks for sharing Tony. We're glad you're finding the bike sturdy enough for your frame but not tank-like. We've been there. Thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. Thanks again. -Ryan

Driggs 8i Disc
Mary Gleason (Houston, United States)
Found the Perfect Ride!

My brother, a daily rider and commuter in Chicago was frustrated with finding a bike that could meet his needs for city riding while still being comfortable and adaptable for longer recreational rides. After much searching we came across the Driggs 8I Disc and it turned out to be the perfect fit.
Ordering was a breeze and it was delivered to his local bike shop (less than 1 mile from home!) for assembly and he was up and riding in under 10 days. It's comfortable, sturdy, has easy gear shifting and a very smooth ride and comfortable saddle.
Highly recommended for urban riders looking for durability and comfort!

Thank you for sharing Mary. We're thrilled to have your brother as part of our Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family out there in Chicago. Glad to hear he's making good use of the bike - Ryan Zagata

Smooth Operator

Looked for a long time for a bike that met my needs in looks and build without going the full custom route. Finally found this bike and love it. Ride is fast, smooth, and comfortable. Even my local bike shop guys were impressed when they assembled and took it for a test spin. Been enjoying it through DC city streets and hilly park trails ever since.

Thanks so much for sharing and we're glad you've found our Driggs 8 to be a 'smooth operator.' Never hurts that the bike shop crew also finds themselves fond of your bike. We're thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Warehouse Deal: Bedford 8
Brian K. (Cleveland, United States)
Bedford 8 - so far so good!

Nothing but great things to say about my recent Warehouse Deal Bedford 8 purchase. I purchased a LARGE frame in Army Green, and I really love it. Feel very lucky/fortunate that I chose the right size, I went back and forth for WEEKS on L v M frame, but at 5'11" Large was the right choice. BBC partnered with a great local bike shop, which made is SUPER EASY to pickup and enjoy. I've already partnered with those guys on fixing my wife's ride! Thanks again!

Thanks Brian. Glad you've had a great experience and the process was SUPER EASY. That's always our goal. Happy to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Commuter Bundle - nice surprise!

The commuter bundle I received with my recent bicycle purchase was a nice surprise! I will no doubt use the bell, lights, AND tote when I hit the local farmer's market...on my new bicycle! Thanks!

Glad you're enjoying your bundle Brian. - Ryan Zagata

Tim (Philadelphia, United States)
My New Roebling (19/M)

Every process from delivery and assembly to communication and the bike itself was great. I haven't owned a bike in years and I live cruising around town on my new Brooklyn Bicycle and have received several compliments. I had to buy the kickstand separately but installation was a piece of cake. The only thing I felt a little off about was the size I ordered. I'm 5' 8" and feel the 19 inch frame is a bit big for me and I feel the 17 inch (small) would've have felt too small. However, I simply lowered the seat a bit and everything is fine and I figure I'll just get use to it. I love my new bike!

Thanks for sharing Tim. We are thrille to learn you had such a great experience and are cruising around town, collecting compliments along the way. -Ryan Zagata
