I understand and like the concept of a simple city bike but the price point for what you get with the M8 seems a little ridiculous. Plus I believe you’re paying that $1000 listed price no discounted MSRP.

We completely agree and have amended the story to reflect the fact that the PUBLIC M8, along with other mixtes, are designed for men as well as women. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I keep one around to my guests to use, be they male or female. Honestly, I also ride it a bit too.
