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.

              Great product
              Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
              I recently installed the BOSCH 6029C HEPA Cabin Air Filter, and the difference was noticeable right away. The air inside my car feels much cleaner and fresher, especially when driving in traffic or through areas with a lot of dust and pollution. It does a great job filtering out odors, pollen, and even fine particles—I’ve had fewer allergy issues since switching to this filter. Installation was straightforward and only took a few minutes, even without much mechanical experience. The build quality is solid, and it fits perfectly without any gaps or issues. Compared to standard cabin filters, this HEPA version is definitely a step up in terms of filtration performance. Overall, I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their in-car air quality. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference in comfort, especially for daily drivers or people sensitive to allergens.

              Good quality!
              Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
              This cabin air filter is seriously a game-changer for my car's interior air quality. I was getting tired of that stale, dusty smell every time I turned on the AC. Swapping it out was surprisingly easy, and the difference was noticeable almost immediately. It really does trap all those tiny particles, like pollen and dust, that used to make my allergies flare up. Now, the air inside my vehicle feels so much fresher and cleaner. I've been recommending this brand to all my friends who are looking for a reliable filter. It's definitely worth the investment for a more comfortable driving experience. Seriously, if you're on the fence, just go for it!

              Noticeable upgrade in air quality and a seamless installation
              Size: 9.3" x 9.7" x 1.8"
              I'm generally skeptical of the "HEPA" marketing for automotive filters, but after installing this in my Honda, the reduction in exterior odors—especially exhaust and pollen—is actually significant. The construction feels far more robust than the flimsy OEM paper filters I’ve used in the past; the pleats are dense and well-reinforced, which gives me more confidence in its filtration efficacy over a 12,000-mile interval. Installation was straightforward and took less than five minutes. It’s a precision fit with no gaps around the edges, ensuring that all intake air is actually being routed through the media rather than bypassing it. One thing to note is that you might notice a very slight decrease in max fan velocity due to the increased density of the HEPA material, but the tradeoff for cleaner air is well worth it in my opinion. If you live in an area with high pollution or suffer from seasonal allergies, this is a legitimate quality-of-life improvement for your daily commute.
