We're so damn close to spring, I can feel it! What I actually felt was the cold drizzle coming down this morning on the bike ride home. At least it wasn't snow. Only one photo for today, I had to give more love to Public Bikes as I saw this green V7 last night in the Golden Triangle just south of Dupont. DC is pretty much a Linus town so anytime I see a Public (based in SF), I have to represent. On the way to my destination to the Golden Triangle (which is the cross of M St., Conn Ave. and 18th St. NW), a girl was going the other way on a Public M8i. I yelled out "Nice bike!" and she gave me the creeper stranger danger glare. :(

Anyways, this is just like my ride except it's all stock from Public. Matching rear rack, stock saddle and even bell from Public. I really hated the stock saddle, it was too mushy for my fat butt so it made my ass sore on longer rides. Public sells them for $5 so that should tell you something about them. You can spot a Public by their signature three color bands on the chain stray frame and front fork. Some older models, like the orange M8i I spotted the other day, will have it on the front lip of the front fender.
