brooklyn bicycle co. brooklyncruiser.com 2013 We were all on to something. Those moments, relegated to the backseat by age, when we held our hand out of the window and just let it drift and ride on the wind. We knew then that life on the other side of the window is where it’s at, that to be in it is always going to beat watching the stuff of life pass us by. As urban cyclists, we still know it. Brooklyn Cruiser is our bid to get everyone out there, in it. And so, starting from a price point of unmatched and uncompromising accessibility, we set out to design the best possible bicycles we could. We did it by not seeing ourselves as a Bike Company, but rather as Lifestyle Solutionists. Why do we ride? What do we need to do it right? How do we want to look and feel, and what do we want to experience when we do? These are the questions that led to chain guards and fenders so we can show up to work clean and dry, less the splatter of the street. A double kickstand and rear rack to make zipping from cafe to gym to happy hour to home again a fully bike-able plight. And because who doesn’t go in for creature comforts, luxe leather saddles and grips became a must. As did our unique markers of distinction, like our double top tube and beloved cream tires. We wanted (daresay demanded) all of this. With no upsells, not ever. And we are proud to say that, today, that’s Brooklyn Cruiser. The idea was to make bikes that fit into your life, not bikes that you need to fit your life around. The idea was to get out there and stay out there as long as we want, drifting and riding on the wind. We think about cycling a little differently. For us, riding means commuting, socializing, getting things done and, sometimes, just being seen. For those reasons, we’d like you to meet our Bedford, Willow, and Driggs. Each vintage inspired, each built for today. Enjoy the Ride, Ryan Zagata President Brooklyn Cruiser Press Highlights Design & Assembly We aren’t kidding when we say our bikes get noticed. But don’t just take our word for it. Consider some As-Seen-In while you decide if you’d like to be As-Seen-On. Here’s a look at just some of the blush-worthy attention our bikes have received: Strength In Millimeters Design, Architecture, Geometry. Believe it -- these concepts are behind our bikes. But when you hear “the geometry of a bike frame,” chances are you stop computing beyond the visual treat that are its curves, lines, and angles. That’s okay. We sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to. And you can’t get much smaller than the almighty millimeter. Millimeters matter. You feel them in your effortless posture, in your natural arm and leg reach, in the ease of your stance at a standstill. All marks of a custom frame, built with your body in mind. Translation by example: Our signature tires sure look chic, but it’s a mere hairline measurement that keeps them narrow enough for speed and wide enough for shock absorption. That’s a millimeter, and that’s why we design and construct right down to them. Strength In Production Quality, Integrity, Longevity. Those are the tenants behind our steel construction. Sound daunting? 30lbs of Dutch style, less the heft is anything but. And this attention to balancing looks and lifespan goes right down to unsung heroics, like sealed bearings in our bottom brackets (rust not, replace not!) We let the experts confirm before releasing each new model, sending one out for a punishing Q/A process first. No tires to asphalt without extensive third party testing and a stamp of approval. Assembly requirements, braking and safety features, and the structural integrity of every last Brooklyn Cruiser is paramount. Strength In Numbers Expertise, Advisement, Collaboration. All urban cyclists have one thing in common -- they ride. So it goes without saying that we’re always listening, and always finding ways to incorporate what we hear into our next design. We keep an open dialogue with our ridership, our friends and neighbors, and select industry leaders on the topics of our bikes, bikes in general, and the cyclist lifestyle we all share. We’re honored to collaborate with a distinguished team led by historically invested and published contributors to the commuter, urban and city biking communities. Their current consultancy with our design and manufacturing processes allow us to offer a unique ride to everyone who wants the experience. brooklyncruiser.com 3 We call The Bedford our Single Speed Warrior for a reason. A mount-and-go Dutch inspired upright with minimal maintenance required makes for the quintessential urban ride. This is your go-to for up, down and cross-town pedaling, with a touring saddle and cushy tires to keep it elegant. A 2013 reissue says it all -- We keep coming back to The Bedford, and so will you. bedford Single Speed, Endless Excursions brooklyn bicycle co.
