Specialized's Globe City bike is like a love letter commuters can deliver to the environment everyday with just a little pedaling. Specialized made the bike with features like a covered chain to help jobby people not get filthy on the way to the office. And it's such a fab ride that, get this, their head honcho will ride the darn thing all the way from their HQ in the Bay Area to the bike industry trade show in Las Vegas to prove the point that it's a radical Mama Earth-loving transpo option. Again, Bay Area to Las Vegas! Now that's some kind of passionate S.W.A.K.

Get there on your own power, and stop putting money in Bush Cronies' pockets.

Commuting is all about pedal pushers vs. petrol pushers these days, friend. Are you for critical mass or mass consumption? Perhaps Specialized's Globe City commuter bike can help make up your mind.

It comes more loaded than most luxury sedans with specifically tuned geometry, integrated fenders, racks, lights and chain guards. You'll have to snap on your own cup holder but, with smooth-riding high volume tires, most of your java will stay in its jacket.

In partnership with the new movie The 11th hour, ThisNext is also giving one of these bikes away. Just make your own eco-friendly recommendations that might help the planet extend its 11th hour and tag them "11th hour" (via Win a Specialized Eco Bike!)
