Up dated review accidentally hit 1 star

I accidentally rated Brooklyn Bikes 1 star I am very pleased that I have not ridden my e bike since I got this bike three weeks ago..it's very sharp looking and it's helping me get the much needed excersise..it's light weight I had ordered the lights with it and all is so good . I feel like a kid again been riding to the office regularly..honestly have to say looks good with my leather jacket I wear to work...5 stars for sure!

Thanks for sharing Daniel. From your review we had assumed you meant 5-stars so we appreciate you correcting that. We are delighted to have in you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. -Ryan Zagata

Swept Back Handlebars are for Lovers

They are a game changer! Their shape creates a very pleasant riding position that works especially well for young and old. While you can still "rock and roll" with the faster crowd...these bars invite side by side chatting and deliver a more leisurely experience...unusual in our modern culture of "racing" where someone wins and others lose... some taking nasty spills.
Biking, in the beginning, opened the door for young men and young women to leave their parent's sides and ride together in their neighborhoods. The seeds of privacy during courtship were planted!
I'm certain the swept back handlebars were part of a "romance" explosion...the world needs more of that today!
The addition of a Nantucket Basket filled with flowers or picnic "fixins" completes the experience!
Enjoy the ride,
Dale Harrison

Thank you Dale. These swept back handlebars have been a huge hit with our customers and you've perfectly captured the exact reason why. We're thrilled you're enjoying your bike and basket. -Ryan Zagata

Nantucket Dreaming

The addition of the extremely well built and attractive Nantucket basket...an accessory to a Brooklyn Bicycle...causes one to experience...dream if you will... of riding on the the on the island's historic bicycle paths... alongside spectacular beaches...picnic essentials within the basket. What a wonderful, peaceful, interlude among the hustle and bustle that surrounds us.
It' a gem!

Love my new cruiser

Living in snow country we completely look forward to the summers here in Western New York and I have always wanted a Brooklyn Cruiser - and my wish came true this year! I am the proud owner of a new white cruiser and can't wait to use it in our beautiful Buffalo summer next year! Delivery fast, quality is very high - it is so wonderful.

Thanks for sharing Lori. We're thrilled to welcome you to the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family. Enjoy your Brighton 7. -Ryan Zagata

Thanks for sharing Thomas. We're glad the lights are delivering as promised. -Ryan Zagata

high quality

Bought my Roebling about 10 weeks ago from the Bike loft. Awesome place to buy a bike. Very well built and a nice bike to ride around town. Very happy with my bike and smoothness with the way it rides.

Thank you for your feedback Scott. We're thrilled to have you in the Brooklyn Bicycle Co. family and we're delighted to learn you had such a great experience with our Syracuse partner shop. -Ryan Zagata
