Name: Public C7
Store: Public Bikes
Value: $675
Description: The PUBLIC C7 is an ultra affordable lightweight, easy-shifting, seven-speed bike designed for stop-and-go city riding. With its curved, open, step-through frame design, it is often referred to as a Dutch bike. But this classic European geometry is seen on the streets from Denmark to Italy and now more frequently in the US. It is especially well suited for those who wear skirts, carry extra weight on the rear rack, or prefer not to swing a leg over a typical frame crossbar. Old-school aesthetic charm with modern components. Reliable and utilitarian enough to be your everyday, rain or shine, commuter workhorse. Chic enough to turn heads on city streets. Priced to fit student budgets. Color options include our classic Orange and Cream. Go below the fold to enter!

What a prize! Thanks for the chance to enter. Cheers, Mandy
I'd love this bike! I can just picture myself cruising around town. Thanks for the chance to win!
lovelovelove!!!
I would love to have a bike like that . I am always riding with my kids and I have a cheapy brand which makes it hard to commute sometimes.
Oh, what a thing of beauty!!!
Awesome giveaways! My whole family has nice bikes, I'm riding my dad's hand me down (he's 93 and isn't using it lol). It has one speed so like hedwig1 I sometimes can't keep up!
I would never drive again.
gorgeous!
LOOOVE!
kinda retro..likey!
Love this bike and especially the retro orange color! Looking for a cruiser for our Cape Cod trips- this is perfect!
how exciting! I never win anything, but there's been lots of opportunities. Maybe this year?
This would make my year if I won this. I had my bike stolen earlier this year and haven't been able to afford to replace it :(

such a beautiful bike, orange is my fave color as well!
I've had a crush on Public Bikes for such a long time. We deserve to be together. <3
Yes please! In my flat, Cali town biking is a year round way to get around, and having a bike so much cooler than your car is a fab incentive to leave that auto parked!
i've needed a bike so bad (for health, for the environment) and this is such a perfect style for me, a short person, to not have to fall over trying to get on the bike. and in my favorite color!
I need the exercise....
ahhh...my tangerine dream. :)
Public bikes ROCK!
such a cute bike!!
Loving the retro curves. She's a beauty!
My sister needs a bike...but if I won this it would be so hard to make a second give away.
This is the best giveaway on here. I would love it.
I want this!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to me??
such a fun color!
I love Public bikes, but they are wwwwway out of my price range. This and the rocking chair from today have definitely been the best giveaways posted so far. Fingers crossed!
The giveaways keep getting better and better. Awesome bike!
Perfect bike in every way!
dutch bike in dutch colours. excellent. been missing riding my oma fiets in amsterdam! would love one for dc.
A friend got a Public bike last year. She's the type to research all options and really dig into the details before making a purchase. I've been wanting one ever since.
I would just die if I won this awesome bike.
I've been eyeing public bikes for a while!
Are you kidding? This is a real gift? Wow! I just moved to the flat lands of SF and would RIDE this bike everywhere!
wooohoooooo!!!!!!!!
Orange! Seeing this makes me so happy!
ok. I will forgo all the other stuff I didn't win yet for this. :) ... honest!
Perfect, stylish way to take off these post-baby pounds.
LURVE!!! still wanting a bike to commute around my city sans gasoline :).
Dear Santa, I have been sooo very good this year, don't ya think? If you agree, please place this beautiful, orange bike under my tree. Xoxoxo
This is a beautiful bike! If I won this I would bike everywhere just to show it off :)
:)
sweet sherbet bike: would you be mine?
and help me explore the new wilds of Ballard town...
This would be such an amazing Christmas present for my husband...
East and West, North & South through the streets of Chicago. I could go here and there shopping and visiting, exercising and exploring! Would love to have that city bike!
I'm a huge bike fan, always wanted an orange one but I've never seen one so cute and retro.
What a beautiful bicycle! I would love to put my petal to this metal!
Perfect design. The Sartorialist is so coming to my suburb to photograph me if I'm riding that.
sweet!
Is it just me, or is the form not showing up for this contest? It keeps asking me to sign in, which I clearly have done.
i would love to ride this through golden gate park every morning
It is a perfect bike and love the color.
I want a new bike~
Awesome! This is the best giveaway I've seen. I'm a long time reader but I just registered for a chance to win this beauty.
I think I would make everyone in L.A. want to get out of their cars if they saw me riding next to them on this stud.
I need a bike - cool look this one.
My vintage 1976 bright green Schwin was stolen out of my backyard last year and man I'm still so sad about it. This would be an awesome replacement and I'm sure weigh a lot less...that was the only downside to that bike. Great giveaway and thanks again for all of these awesome giveaways...if I win anything I don't need, then I plan on giving it to the organization I volunteer with called 100 homes for the homeless. I'm helping getting furniture off of Craigslist and preparing them with move-in ready boxs. It feels so wonderful to give, so I'm sure you all feel so happy to be apart of all these giveaways. Thanks! xx Danielle
Yay! More bikes for the people. Whoever wins, please ride it lots!
I just exchanged bike helmets from Public Bikes with my boyfriend for our pseudo anniversary this past wknd. Nothing says I love you like a helmet! This Public Bike would go oh so well!
I have been wanting the C7 forever so would LOVE to win this giveaway!

That is basically the bike of my dreams, I'm going to go cry in corner now because I'm not a damn U.S. resident and can't win it!!!
I just found out my old bike is beyond repair.
This bike would be a dream come true!

Beautiful bike!
How beautiful!! Than you for the chance to win this bike.

This would be a much more stylish way of cruising about with my son and no more crossbar.
What a beautifully-designed bike. I'd love to replace my 20+ year-old hand-me-down with this!
let's do this!
people from outside the States are not allowed?
This would be a wonderful gift for my daughter :)
Drooling over this! LOVE Public!

If I won this bike I honestly would cry. I've wanted this bike for years now and everytime Im about to get it something else comes up! This bike is too cool and it would make me look even cooler riding it! I hope I win!
