Free Expert Assembly on All Bikes
The color alone is bright, vibrant, and full of personality and it turns heads every time I ride. I’m transitioning from a beach cruiser to a city bike, and the Franklin 8 has made that shift effortless. It’s the smoothest ride I’ve ever experienced and it truly glides like butter, even on San Diego’s bumpy streets.
I needed a bike that could keep up with our crew (my husband and our friends are serious riders!), and this one delivers. From meetups in Mid-City to cruising through Balboa Park, the Franklin 8 handles it all. I especially love that it has both backpedal and handlebar brakes are perfect for my comfort and confidence as I level up my riding game.
Delivery and setup were seamless. Brooklyn Bicycle Co. arranged for a local shop to assemble it, and it was ready in record time. I even received a proactive email from their team offering a refund for an accessory I had ordered that wasn’t compatible. Who does that anymore?! Truly kind and generous icons.
I took advantage of the Warehouse Deal and honestly… I can’t find a single imperfection. This bike is perfection.
10/10 recommend!! I’m officially a lifelong fan of Brooklyn Bicycle Co!!

It's my second bike. My first is a road bike. I use it for getting around the city. My girlfriend is sharing the Lorimer, re-learning to bike (yes, riding a bike isn't as easy as riding a bike). We both appreciate everything about it. Great frame, great design (7 gears with a very wide range, nice and simple). And it looks great, beautiful cream color, great typeface, and the Brooklyn Bridge on the head tube! I got Timbuck2 saddle bags. My Lorimer gets me around town faster than public transportation or taxis.
Thank you for sharing Richard. Glad we're your consummate companion. Thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata
I love my bike. I am just starting my biking journey and this bike makes it easy and enjoyable. The ordering to pick up was also pretty seamless..no complaints.
Thank you for sharing Tanya. We are thrilled you're enjoying your Lorimer hybrid bike. -Ryan Zagata
The bike is nice. I bought it because I loved the coral color. Rides well. I already lost the kickstand cap, and it’s only been a few weeks. The pickup process was painful. Overall, I’m happy with it.

THE BIKE IS FABULOUS! PRETTY, LIGHT WEIGHT, AND A MUST WITH THE ACCESSORIES . BASKET, BELL, AND THE BOX ON BACK. ORDERING EASY. DELIEVRY TO LOCAL BIKE STORE FOR ASSEMBLY. COULD NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE
