The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar was designed with the commuter, adventurer, and everyday cyclist in mind. With design inspired by the past for demands of the present, this 18-speed bike’s versatile geometry and lightweight Chromoly frame make it great for navigating the daily commute, putting in some extra fitness miles after work, or heading out of town for longer weekend adventures.

Up-to-date features like a 1 1/8" threadless stem and modern, dual control shifters allow many riding positions from semi-upright to aerodynamic and ensure easy-to-operate, light and responsive shifting. The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar features an upgraded Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain that boasts the same reliable performance as far more expensive road bikes and is ready to ease you up the steepest hills.

Unlike traditional road bikes, the PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar was designed for urban utility with features like alloy fenders to keep you dry in inclement conditions, front and rear rack mounts, and secondary inline brake levers that offer convenient braking in city traffic from the most upright position. Rims capable of 35c clearance (w/o fenders) smooth rough city streets with nimble handling, and quick-release wheels make it especially easy to carry on a roof rack for rides out of town.

A visual homage to rides of the past, but with the benefits of modern geometry and components, the PUBLIC R18 is perfect for riders looking for an entry-level road bike that's ready to meet the demands of both urban and recreational riding. The PUBLIC R18 Drop Bar is ready to be your go-anywhere, do-anything road bike.

              Would not recommend
              I bought this for my bulldog/boxer dog thinking that it was completely made of leather but it’s not. It has an inch of felt type material between two very thin leather pieces which makes it easy for her to chew on, becoming soft very quickly and then falls apart. We took it away from the dog the first day and threw it away because we didn’t want her swallowing felt type material.

              The bone lasted a long time.
              My border collie is a chewer. I can look at a toy and tell you how long it’s going to last. This bone has lasted months and she still will grab it and chew on it.

              ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Finally, a Dog Toy That Actually Lasts!
              We picked up this natural leather bone dog toy hoping it would survive longer than the usual toys our dog destroys in a day—and wow, it exceeded every expectation. The leather is thick, durable, and clearly great quality. Our dog has tried his best to tear it apart (like he does with every toy), but this one has held strong. It’s been weeks now, and the toy still looks almost new. No frayed seams, no stuffing everywhere, no pieces breaking off. Just a solid, long-lasting toy that keeps our dog entertained without us having to constantly replace it. If you’re tired of wasting money on toys that only last a few hours, this natural leather bone is absolutely worth it. Tough, safe, and built to last—our dog loves it, and so do we!

              Great chew toys
              Dogs love! Not rough on teeth. They do tend to pull long strings of thread off the leather and felt, which must be intercepted and cut off lest we have a string linear foreign body. I wish the whole held together a bit better. Fierce corgis can go through these pretty quickly.
