History

Established in 2011.

Richie, the founder of Brooklyn Bicycles worked as a bicycle messanger in New York and San Francisco and has been in the bicycle industry for 20 years.

You might have met Richie or our other great mechanic, Chris, while they worked at some of the local shops around San Diego.

As of early 2015, the shop is under new ownership and the shop has a new look. But we are carrying on with the same level of work; and most importantly, Richie will still be around to provide the same service.

Meet the Business Owner

Curtis A.

Business Owner

I have been passionate about bicycling since growing up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where I mountain biked all summer. In 2006, I moved to San Diego and quickly figured out that commuting by bike was a great way to get exercise instead of sitting in traffic. After only a few months of riding to work, I found myself riding «up the coast» every weekend, and before I knew it I was hooked on road biking.

Yada yada yada my passion turned into an investment in Brooklyn Bicycles, and I could not be more excited to be investing into the San Diego bicycling community and into the uptown neighborhood of Normal Heights! I am also very excited to be working with Richie, Chris and Omar. It is fun to see how their different experiences help customers find the right bike, component or level of service to continue their passion.
