The PUBLIC C7i is a Dutch-inspired low-step city bike built around a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internally geared hub. That hub lets you shift while stopped and needs little maintenance, which sets it apart from derailleur commuters in the same class. The upright position, dual-pivot brakes and reflective sidewall tires suit daily commuting and errands. Owners describe an easy, relaxing ride and smooth shifting, though a few mention assembly time and a chain that arrived too tight.
