Chicago Bike

It's tough to spot Chicago Bike from the road—in a car, at least. But avid and casual bicyclists alike know how to find it on two wheels. Regardless of how one arrives there, Chicago Bike sits in a corner storefront in the middle of the plaza anchored by The Alley. There's a big bike rack out front (of course), and a hose fed through the door that provides free air 24/7. Inside, customers will find bicycle parts and accessories. Its staff of trained mechanics also work on bikes and offer classes on bicycle maintenance and repair.
