Matthew Sterling’s Photo Contest Entry
I ride because every trip by bicycle offers opportunities for adventure. When I ride I’m traveling through the world while living in it and experiencing it in a way unlike any other form of transportation. This ride was a recent journey to the St. Croix River Valley. The fog enshrouded morning was occasion for a quite, contemplative start to our day. Once the haze lifted fall’s riot of colors never appeared more brilliant.

That Public Mixte is lovely in blue, with the matching rear rack. It looks like the seat has been upgraded to a leather saddle, perhaps a Brooks? Matthew, if you’re reading this, how do you (or your companion) like the Public M?
Thanks Joseph! The Public Mixte belongs to me. My husband, Matt, upgraded several components. It does have a Brook’s saddle. I absolutely love my bike. It is so much fun to ride!
Public is making some really classy bikes, I especially love the mixte. We’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it riding around Minneapolis/St. Paul this summer. I’ve also been pleased to see how well it handles for touring. The only other significant upgrade I made to it was to add a Jtek bar end shifter.
