Brooklyn Cruiser, a commuter bike company offering vintage inspired modern bikes with a unique kick shift hub, launched this week. The company designs city bikes that combine the function, comfort, and style of a classic Dutch bike with the stable and smooth ride of a hybrid bike. While the women's coats Brooklyn Cruiser City Bike may look retro, it packs a high-tech internal two-speed kick shift hub, allowing riders to quickly shift between gears while riding (or stopped) with a slight pedal backwards. This recently re-released hub eliminates the need for the ubiquitous shifter cable, which often gets in the way of clothing and requires frequent maintenance.
Highly edited with only the most practical features, Brooklyn Cruiser aims to simplify the bike-buying process and reduce the maintenance that typically accompanies owning a bike. Brooklyn Cruiser bikes' elements of function, comfort and style include:
Function – Reliable Sturmey Archer two-speed kick shift hub; front & rear fenders; front or rear carrier option; rear coaster brake
Comfort – Gyes genuine leather ergonomic grips and dual coil leather saddle; upright riding position with swept back handlebars
Style – Brooklyn Cruiser's signature double top tube; cream colored tires; men's bikes available in black and cream and women's bikes available in black and tangerine
Inspired by urban dwellers abroad where bicycle commuting is a cultural norm, and given Americans trend more toward riding for recreation than transportation, the company researched extensively for a reasonably priced yet quality bike that's fun to ride but built for commuting. After a search came up empty, they worked with Brooklyn designers to create a prototype of an urban bike that simplified bike maintenance with a renewed emphasis on affordability and style.
Established in 2011, Brooklyn Cruiser mirrors the same iconic qualities of Brooklyn itself - accessibility, durability, and original style. Brooklyn Cruiser bikes are sold online for $499 plus shipping at http://www.brooklyncruiser.com and are shipped 90 percent assembled. Brooklyn Cruiser recommends a mechanic test the bike for safety before riding. Bikes can be delivered fully assembled in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens. See our website for retail information.
