  3. I have a yellow vintage bike from my uncle that i plan to use for a personal sprimg photoshoot (though i’d love to share it). I’d put fresh flowers on the basket and bike by the golden gate/ crissy field! :)

  11. this is so lovely, and would make any bike instantly perfect! It would be ideal for my little picnic adventures!

  12. I’m seriously not trying to butter myself up here, but I have only had problems with my crappy $15 basket from Target. I would love a cute, well-made little basket. I’m loving all the hand-woven ones!

  13. wow! they really do have some great bikes! mine is still currently on long island but i need to get it out ehre so i can start riding it to work! its getting so nice out and my new job is so close! but i do need a bike helmut, maybe ill find one through them!

    I need that amazing basket to accompany me.

  18. oh my bike! i absolutely am in love with the bikes and the BASKET! i already have a similar bike to the ones on the website. it was my favorite find at the thrift store. if i could have this picnic basket… it would oh so complete it! <3

  19. Wow, what a lovely bike basket. That would make such a lovely to my bicycle. It’s a vintage, bright blue Schwinn that used to belong to my Grandmother.

  20. The basket is so cute & nifty! I need a bike upgrade after looking at the fancy bicycles from Public Bikes! This would be the perfect motivation to save up some money!

  21. This is absolutley adorable!

    It’s perfect since spring is near, and it’ll also be perfect for summer and fall as well; because

    picnics are a must in those seasons! :)

  22. Um… is this one of the cutest things or what? I would not only use this on my bike but for just general picnic-ing! I’m also drooling a little over their PUBLIC C7 bike in White.

  23. Why was the bicycle laying down? Because it was “two tired” to continue.

    Not my Schwinn. Kickstand or locked up.

  24. oh, this would due so sweet for my electra amsterdam, ever since my old basket was stolen last summer! here’s hoping!

  25. Oh how I adore this basket! And I know my mum would too, so in all truth it would be a wonderful gift to bestow on her. It’s so interesting to see a square basket too..I almost want to fashion it into a backpack! Love your work, Erin! xx

  26. I love the weave of this basket, it’s also very handy for picnics. I think it would fit amazingly with my red burgundy bicycle (and it matches my handlebars!). Great collaboration for this contest. Have a great summer xx

  27. totally digging the modern baby seats. 18 years between my son and daughter (coming soon!) and wow, a lot more swank options for pedaling w/ your tot today.

  28. Wow- my husband would love this for his bike. He rides everyday to work in the summer! Public bikes is a great idea too. Very cute.

  29. This would make my daily ten-mile commute so much happier! I’ve been dreaming of a basket after using nets and bungees for far too long.

  30. I love this basket! It would be perfect for a wonderful picnic in the coming spring, to take on long bike rides!

    But speaking of Public, what a cool website! I love their helmets so much I might need to order one!

  31. A bike like this would be excellent for my girlfriend. I know she doesn’t fancy the idea of riding an aggressively styled road bike like the one I own so a step-through framed bike would be more ideal for her.

  32. How FAB! Loving this comp – perfect for those dreamy (ok in my dreams) summer picnic! p.s. coincidentally I’m also featuring a new bike accessory on my blog today – cyglo. Worth a peak! xx

  33. I love oogling at bikes. A boy on the street has one? Checking out the bike before the boy! Life is fantastic that way. Public bikes are too pretty. I want them all!

  34. I LOVE IT!!! I WANT IT!!!… but.. yeah.. can you send it internationally? I live in Guatemala… just wanted to know.. to not get my hopes up beforehand .. thank you :D

    please say yes… :D

  35. How did you know I needed a basket for my bike? I love the look of Public’s bicycles and have been considering one of their baskets for awhile now.

  36. The basket is so adorable! and its finally getting to be picnic season again! I love the aesthetics of public bikes, so clean!

  37. These little baskets are unbelievable! I would love to put one on the back of my lavender colored ’86 Paramount! The epitome of spring time. Thank you for the giveaway! And the best of luck to everyone.

  38. This is perfect timing, just yesterday I was trying to figure out how to bring a bocce ball set and wine on my bike for all of this summers picnics.

  39. I would love to win one of these! We’ve finally gotten our bikes out of storage and have started teaching my nephew how to ride. This would be perfect for post riding lesson picnics. Thanks for such a great giveaway x

  40. <3<3<3<3<3

    lots of love from chi-city. riding my new public bike down the lake shore path is the most amazing feeling now that it's almost spring.

  41. It has been like spring all week in Chicago, it makes me want to go bike riding more than anything!
    This basket would be perfect for that :)

  42. I adore PUBLIC bikes; I ride a lovely Linus step-thru, but if I didn’t I’d have a PUBLIC C7. This basket would be perfect on either bike!

  43. gosh, what a lovely giveaway! watching you ride your Public bike in the video has me seriously daydreaming for warmer riding weather here in seattle :) thanks to you and Public for such a super opportunity!

  44. I love public bikes and have been wanting (saving for) one for a while now. If I won this basket I just might have to finally get one!

  45. I just went to go pick up a rear rack today. A bike basket would be the perfect complement to a rack and panniers!

  46. I ADORE Public bikes! Please consider me for the free basket. I’ve been needing one for groceries something awful! Thank you and good luck to the rest of you!

  47. So lovely! Perfect for this lady whose bike was just stolen (the bike my father gave my mother forty years ago!). Hint. Hint. ;-)

    1. Oops – poor reading comprehension skills – not a bike, but a basket! I would still love a basket for whatever replacement I find. (Perhaps from Public?!)

  48. A tisket, a tasket, a pretty, pretty basket!!!
    Would love to have it, course I would!!!
    Will I win it??? Got to ask it!!!
