PUBLIC V7: A Great Bike For Women and Men

7-Speed Versatility

Tested on the steep hills of San Francisco, the 7-speed Shimano Acera derailleur is paired with one-handed Revoshift twist shifter for easy gear shifting on the fly.

Commuter Tires

The sporty PUBLIC V7 glides easily over rough roads with cushy, yet nimble 700c puncture-resistant commuter tires and a lightweight hand-crafted steel frame.

Comfy Saddle

A sleek memory foam saddle with weatherproof antique brown finish and matching grips keep you comfortable on longer rides.

Quick-Release Brakes

Modern dual pivot alloy brakes combine with lightweight alloy rims and machined brake surfaces for quick, safe, and controlled stops.

Sizing Your Ride

Using a measuring tape, determine your stand-over measurement by measuring your leg and then adding 1 inch to the total. For all bikes, PUBLIC recommends at least 1 inch of space between you and the top tube of the bike.

Small/Medium bike size -- 30-inch stand-over measurement.

Medium/Large bike size -- 32-inch stand-over measurement.

Shipping and Assembly

PUBLIC Bikes on Amazon ship partially assembled, and should be taken to a bike shop for assembly and fine tuning by a professional bike mechanic. Proper bike assembly requires specialty tools and training to assure safe riding and optimal performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my PUBLIC V7
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016
I love my PUBLIC V7. With 7 gears, it's the perfect all-season get around commuter bike and I've found that it requires minimal maintenance. It even comes standard with a kickstand, chain guard and color matching fenders! I do strongly recommend adding the color matching rear rack to fully compliment the bike. The bike does ships unassembled, so take PUBLIC 's word and have your local bike shop complete assembly to ensure everything is working order before you take it out for your first spin. I can't thank PUBLIC enough for designing a bike that cater to those of us who just looking to casually ride! Keep up the good work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful...and Great for San Francisco Commute
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2016
I recently moved to San Francisco, and this bike is great for my daily commute. The 7 speeds allow me to cruise up and down the SF hills and with the fenders and chainguard, I never worry about getting dirty. I get tons of compliments on the color and the design every day that I ride. Seriously. My commute would be a lot faster if I didn't stop to chat with all the folks who comment on my bike and ask me where I got it. I recommend PUBLIC to all of my friends because this bike is great and because they have a great selection in other kinds of bikes, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars the green color is so beautiful and eye catching especially in person
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016
Just look at this stunning bike, the green color is so beautiful and eye catching especially in person. Be cautioned you won't be able to go that far without receiving a million compliments : ) Easy to ride. smooth and comfortable. The drop handlebars are nice if you don't like that super upright ride you get with the more beach cruiser style handlebars but still have a comfortable upright seating position (I don't like the super aggressive hunched over handlebars).

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, functional commuter or recreational bike
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016
This a beautiful British Racing Green bike gets a lot of compliments by my friends and fellow bicyclists. The 7 speeds works great in hilly SF. I like that my riding position is upright so I don't have to hunch my back while riding. The steel frame feels light but durable.
