We are introducing two new PUBLIC bike models this fall. These bikes will be available for sale in mid-November 2010. But before we make these bikes available to the general public, we will offer two people a chance to win one of our new PUBLIC bikes by inspiring us with your vision of how our world will look from the seat of a PUBLIC bike.

What you need to do to enter: Tell us in ~200 words or less where you would take us and what we would do on a 90 minute bicycle trip in your hometown.

First Prize: Win one of these new PUBLIC Bikes

We're actually holding two contests at the same time. One contest is exclusively for college and university students (community college, undergraduate, and graduate). The other contest is open to anyone. You can only submit one entry to one contest. We won't be testing for steroids, but if you submit multiple entries, you'll be disqualified.

The contest deadline is November 14 at 11:59 pm.

To enter our contest, you simply need to tell us what we'd see of special interest if we visited your hometown and you had 90 minutes to take us around. Wit, humor, creativity, and noting unique local destinations are strongly encouraged, although not required.

We also have many second prizes - helmets, bells, and baskets - to give away to those of you who also join us on Facebook and/or Twitter. If you like us on Facebook OR follow us on Twitter, you’ll double your chances to win a second prize. If you like us on Facebook AND follow us on Twitter, you’ll triple your chances to win a second prize.

About Our New PUBLIC Bikes
We designed our new PUBLIC bikes to be the most versatile, all-purpose, affordable, lightest steel-frame bicycles in the market. They are modeled on classic European bikes for upright riding and a comfortable ride for men and women of all shapes and sizes. The easy-shifting 7-speed derailleur gear system will take you anywhere. Signature PUBLIC features include lightweight aluminum chain guard and fenders, feet friendly pedals, and overall chic looks. Our rear racks, baskets, and other accessories are all compatible with our new bike models. The traditional step-through frame PUBLIC J7 will come in orange and vanilla. The diamond-frame PUBLIC A7 will come in orange and green. They will be priced at $495, which makes them the best deal for quality steel-framed city bikes in the market.
