Name: Blue PUBLIC D1
Store: PUBLIC
Value: $550
Description: The PUBLIC D1 is a Cruiser for Modernists. It is our lightest and purest model and a quintessential statement in simplicity. Having only one gear (i.e. one speed), it is ideal for flat and gently sloping topographies, but it is geared generously so that fit bicyclists can ride it almost anywhere.
The light steel frame makes it an ideal choice for urbanites that carry a bike up or down stairs for home or office or onto trains and subways. The frame style is based on the classic "diamond" frame geometry that has been the standard for city bikes, touring bikes, and even racing bikes dating back to the late 19th century.

That color! Yum.
I'm 23 and I don't know how to ride a bike! But if I had a cool bike like this, I would definitely have to learn
I've been looking for a bike I can afford. It would be great to win one!
want, want, want, want....
Would the winner get to specify what size frame they get? Public offers 3 frames sizes, depending on the rider's height.
Yes please! I have been looking at this very bike!
Oh. Yes. Please.
I promise I'll wear my helmet!
This is absolutely beautiful. Want, want, want.
yes yes yes!!! super cool!
Oh that is AWESOME. I'm now biking to work and could really use a nice bike like this. The color is fantastic and my wife and I could take bike rides together! Thanks for these opportunities!
oh, my. what a lovely mode of transport.
Love this bike! Perfect to ride to the new Whole Foods that is going up in my hood. Keeping my fingers crossed!
this is the same color as the 1973 Schwinn Suburban I'm riding now.... I'm sure this is so much lighter and less creaky though.
Best giveaway yet.
A bike perfect for my fourth floor apartment and Chicago's flat terrain! Beautiful looking bike!
What a dashing bike... would love to have a new ride!
I have a public bike, in cream, in the 8 speed (for hilly Portland). It is a wonderful ride, highly recommend.
Perfect for the upcoming New Year's resolution of healthy living.
So, so stylish.
great bike indeed!

this would be so awesome for my husband whose brand new bike got stolen recently. fingers crossed.
omg, i would absolutely love this! i'm trying to get healthy and my dinky 10 year old bike isn't cutting it anymore. it'd be perfect for me to haul up to my apt too!
I need me a set of wheels.
My trusty bike was just stolen a couple of weeks ago. This would make a lovely replacement (and upgrade).
Wow! lovely bike!
Cool bike. Something I wouldn't buy for myself, but I'd love to have it!
Oh my gosh, amazing bike. Been biking to school for the past 6 months and it's been a dream but I could definitely do with an upgrade to keep going!
I love this bike!!! It is perfect...light and easy to ride....PUBLIC also has some really cute equipment for the bikes.
Would love to own this beauty!!!
Santa, I promise to be very good next year....

My bike got stolen and I haven't replaced it yet...maybe I won't need to!

I would love to have the beautiful blue Public D1 bike, as I am sure anyone would!
Good Luck and Happy Holidays, Everyone!
um, yeah, want it!
awesome color too! i live in madison wi and everyone rides a bike.
Yes! Green, cool and georgeous!
Bummer. Just one gear means this is not the bike for cruising around Seattle. : (
Beautiful Bike!
What a terrific bike. Great color, too.
A must!
Love the color!
oh my!! Love it!
I live in San Diego. I've been clunking around on my garage sale one-speed beach cruiser, and this would be a PERFECT upgrade.
I've been wanting a straight-forward and lovely bike. Yes, please.
yes i want it but in the girls version without the crossbar ;-)
beautiful!
girl version...! my husband would be so proud..
nice ride
So love it - my son would looooove the color.
My bike was stolen about 5 months ago and I moved to a new city with tons of trails and sun. Dying to get out there again!
pls pls pls pls
So love the color. Beautiful bike!
This bike is sublime!
Very nice bike
very pretty!
THIS BIKE IS SICK!...ahh. I WANT!
So cute.
Sweet bike! I love all the gear Public has on their site as well, a very nice collection! I've bookmarked for future ordering.
I'm sold on the light construction as I have 4 flights of stairs up to my apartment and additional flights per day to get onto trains. The color is beautiful!
waaaaaaaant
Beautimusthave!
I think that color would make me go faster ;)
I could really use this bike, a lot!
I started biking for the first time while living in Amsterdam over the summer and it literally changed my life. I promised myself I would ditch the "L" for a bike as soon as I got home but I haven't been able to afford (even a really shabby) one with the cost of furnishing my 1st apt. If ever there was a time to be lucky...!
this bike would help me get rid of my holiday bottom!!
I LOVE THIS BIKE!!! My hybrid was recently stolen (with kryptonite lock--don't know how that happens?); so this would be a beyond awesome replacement:-)
I need to teach my GF to ride this bike so I can have a riding buddy.
Really would love to have to cruise our new neighborhood & keep fit!
Insane! how cool is this. I would be the hippest Mom in town!
i've been eyeing this baby for months!
oh man, this would be an amazing upgrade to my commute.
my trusty 70s schwinn collegiate died and i've been without wheels in the most bike friendly city in the nation for months now! gosh would this be a dream to win.
Love it! =)
Love!!! My husband and I need bikes so badly!
nice bike
I just plotzed.
This bike would be so perfect for my Brooklyn 4 story walk up! Not to mention how cute it would look with a basket at the farmer's market at Grand Army Plaza...
love this bike
what a gorgeous shade of blue on a bike.
A true beauty!
oh wow
Would be a perfect gift for my daughter to ride at college.
Teresa

white wicker basket. Yellow sunny flowers. polka dot pants, sunny brooklyn day. Perfection!!
It's perfect!
Ah, reminds me of my first bike...which my lil bro totally destroyed.
Wow, I love the color! I want this so badly!
Love, love, love the Public bike...I am all about keeping the Pruis on lockdown when I can bike! The color is my fav...just like the Florida sky today !
I love this bike so much! I tried and tried to win a bike through Madsen when they had there give-away a couple of weeks ago, but no luck!
I would cherish this bike for the rest of my life ! No one could love it as much as me !
beauty!
There is a sculpture by Gary Lee Price in one of the bake parks in LA called family outing... I used to be the little girl. This bike makes me want to be her again!
what a beaut
On the market for a bike. How fabulous it would be to win one!
sweet!
wow i would love this! perfect for riding to the beach
I totally need a bike to get around! A new, stylish one would be nice!
Beautiful! I waaaant this bike!!!!!
Perfect for me.
I have a road bike I built from the frame up, but have been looking for the perfect cruising bike! This beauty would be lovely for biking around Chicago! Especially in the summer!
This is EXACTLY the bike i've been looking for.
The color, however, is what makes it perfect!
My heart bleeds powder blue for this bike. And, oh, the ecological envy of urban motorists as I whish past them into the painted desert sky.
***swoons***
You had me at kick-stand.
I would match my son's bike...just a bit lighter in color!!!
perfect for the city in the summer! love it!
Favorite giveaway ever. Better than money. God.
It matches my eyes!
Sweet bike!
I need this bike - light enough to carry up and down stairs with just one speed. PERFECT!
love it!
Cool... What I need to beat traffic!
I bought my husband a bike for his birthday, but now I am stuck behind at home when he goes for his rides. If only I had this bike, we could go places together!
This bike is perfection! Definitely the best give-away you guys have ever had!
The entry deadline is my birthday, so I'm going to take that as a sign that I'm going to win. That's the only thing it could mean, right? ;)
Would love to give this to my daughter, she is in desperate need of a new bike.
WOW!!
I really fancy this bike.
Gorgeous! Would certainly be a great replacement for my 10 year old off-brand bike.
oh i need a bike sooo bad!
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
