Brooklyn Bicycle Co. Reviews

I love my Brooklyn Roebling bicycle, and bought the bottle cage the same time. The cage is nice looking on the bike, is lightweight, and definitely does its job. However, so far, every bottle that I've put in it just barely fits. It's tight to the point where it scrapes painted logos off the bottle. Maybe this needs to be manually stretched out, but that's been my experience so far.

Purchased online, then the bike was sent to a very convenient bike shop for me.
Smooth and easy process!!!

This bike was exactly what I was looking for , a simple vintage styled bike. It rides well, the shipping process was smooth, couldn’t be happier. I added a brass bell and some canvas saddlebags, get compliments all the time on it.

Love my new bike. Light and efficient

I bought this bike for casual exercise along the Hudson River bike path in lower Manhattan. It’s perfect and I have been asked many times who makes that bike. It has a distinctive design and the gearing—it’s a low maintenance three-speed—is smooth and well suited for flat terrain or slightly rolling hills. Love the blue color, but I spotted a handsome black one peddling in the opposite direction last week!

As a former professional bicycle racer with a few Ti road bikes in my garage, I wanted a “city bike” to run errands and ride to the beach (a short distance from my retirement townhouse). I looked at used bicycles at my shop in PA and SC, but decided to buy new. Researched and spoke w Pres. of Co. and staff. Made purchase and was exceptionally pleased with ease of delivery and assembly by one of the company’s authorised bike assemblers, “Paul the Bike Guy” in Bolivian, NC. (Who did an excellent job for a one-man shop and I recommend him too if needed in northeast SC or southeast NC based upon this experience.) Bicycle was as expected, assembled as wished, and performs as desired. I
highly recommend this company and process. Robert Donaldson, Esq.

I got my bike about 2 week ago and I am pleased. I contacted Ryan who supported me in making a decision about which size and style. We are the same height, 6 feet, so that made it easy. I chose a Roebling 21".
I was looking to replicate my experience with my Bridgestone X0-4, which I bought in 1993. Ryan said the X04 designer, Grant Petersen, was on their team to give input as well.
It was sent to local bike store in town that I was already familiar with and assembled in a week or two.
I ride down rail trails and country roads. It is very fast. 9 gears do it all. I go up a long quarter mile hill with a 6% grade and in 1st gear I can get up the hill without standing over the handlebars..so seated. I weave a bit but not much.
I recommend!

Love the bike. Live in a hilly terrain and it is perfect. Have had it for about a month and have been riding it 50+ miles everyday; no complaints.

I bought my Driggs 3 a few years back and decided I wanted something that could easily hold a few items. The bike crate is perfect--I can just drop a small bag and water bottle in, and be on my way . . .

My second Roebling is great. I especially like the gear shifting levers on the same side of handle bar as opposed to my previous model. All transactions with Brooklyn Bike and my local bike shop was efficient and fast.

Needed to replace my white tires for my bike and found out they are hard to find! Grateful for Brooklyn Bikes to dig around and locate a pair.

Quality is very high. Basket is sturdy and looks nice. It adds a TON of weight which I wasn’t expecting.

I luv the hoodie design and fit. (They run a bit large, so I was able to return mine for a medium.

Only knock is the zipper, which is stiff, and difficult to start (at the bottom). Works ok once I get it 'unstuck.'

I liked the lights as they held a long charge and the differing light settings. I purchased a set for my wife. The red light turned off intermittently. Once made away of the issue, Ryan immediately sent a replacement! Thank you

love it

Handlebars are just what I was looking for…I love the upright riding position

We recently purchased and received our new Franklin 8 along w/ the Bedford 8 bicycles and are extremely satisfied. We're avid bike riders and have purchased other bikes (Driggs 3) from Brooklyn Bicycle Co in the past with similar satisfaction not only in the quality of the bikes, the delivery process and customer service along the way. Their bikes are very smooth and comfortable to ride on the streets and network of paved bike trails around our city in Columbus, Ohio. We'd definitely highly recommend the Brooklyn Bicycle Company's line of bikes to anyone who's looking for quality comfortable bikes for a great value.

Just what I was looking for

These lights Mount with a built-in clip or use included rubber straps. My headlamp is strapped around the handlebars, taillight strapped around the rear post. Charge lasts pretty long, visibility seems good, 4 operating modes- kinda what I wanted. Shipped fast. I just rebuilt an old fixy with new rear wheel so it’s got coaster brake! I’m too old for that fixy/hipster scene. Anyway - low cost and good performance from Brooklyn Bicycle!

Crate is everything as advertised- stylish, sturdy, and super useful. It does add some weight to the back of my bike- only an issue going up and down stairs in my Brooklyn apartment. I couldn’t be happier with my Brooklyn bike or crate. 5 stars!✨ ✨

Love my new bike. The ride is wonderful, smooth and fast. Light weight. Gears work great, shifting is easy. The bicycle is a real head turner as well.

The Franklin 8 is a classic looking bike, that performs as good as it looks. Am very happy with my purchase.

Expensive for a wooden box but it looks great
