An affordable, practical, and lightweight single-speed city bike, the PUBLIC Bikes V1 is ideal for trips around town, casual riding with friends, and weekend jaunts through the park. Offering a solid, comfortable upright riding position, the PUBLIC V1’s classic diamond frame geometry has a sloping top tube that provides more stand-over clearance.

Intended for flat streets or light-to-moderate hills, the PUBLIC V1 features a simple and efficient single-speed drivetrain that’s easy to maintain. The dual pivot alloy brake calipers combine with lightweight alloy rims for safe, reliable braking rain or shine, and the Kenda Kwest 700 x 35C tires are wide enough to handle curbs and potholes but narrow enough for speed.

The PUBLIC V1 also features upright handlebars that provide a relaxed riding position, a hi-tensile steel frame, an improved wide memory foam saddle, improved comfort handlebar grips, and full alloy pedals with grippy rubber surface for riding with boots, pumps, flip-flops, or anything in between. It also comes fully appointed with color-matching fenders and chain guard plus a kickstand to make for pleasant, clean trips about town in everyday clothing. (For safe riding, PUBLIC Bikes sold on Amazon require bike shop assembly by a professional bike mechanic). Backed by a lifetime PUBLIC frameset warranty.

PUBLIC is a San Francisco-based bicycle and gear company that designs European-inspired urban bikes and accessories that make riding more enjoyable, practical, and fun.
