BROOKS
The Brooks England story is a classic tale of innovation born from necessity. It all began in 1865 when John Boultbee Brooks started a leather goods company in Birmingham. The firm operated without much fanfare until 1878, when a simple misfortune changed everything.After his horse passed away, Brooks was forced to borrow a friend's bicycle to commute. The experience of riding on the bicycle's solid wooden saddle was so uncomfortable that it inspired him to create a better solution. Brooks's ingenious idea was to craft the first leather cycling saddle, using his expertise in leather goods to create a seat that was both durable and comfortable.
This moment of inspiration launched a legacy that continues today. The uncomfortable bike ride of 1878 didnt just solve a personal problem it laid the foundation for brooks saddles to become a trusted name for cyclists seeking quality and comfort worldwide
