You should go to Working Bikes. They're open Sundays and Wednesdays. Just get there early.

Blackstone Bike Works (6100 S. Blackstone, in Hyde Park), also sells used bikes. If money is an issue, I would first check with Working Bikes, as they seem to have better prices.

Ouch. I just crashed too and this missing skin is no fun....

I'd check with Working bikes first - it's Saturday and Wednesday (they're no longer open on Sundays). They usually have a much larger selection for adult bikes than Blackstone.
Blackstone also sell used, but selection of women's bikes are really hard to come by. I'd give them a call first to make sure they even have one in stock.
Of course, there's always craigslist...

Ciclo Urbano has used bikes that have been reconditioned quite well. Most come with new tires, cables, housing and chains. Not the biggest selection, but quality bikes.

2459 W. Division
Tues - Thurs 12-8pm
Friday & Saturday 12-6pm
Sunday 12-5pm

They are also connected to West Town Bikes where you can learn bike maintenance and repair and do much of it yourself. Check them out at http://ciclourbanochicago.com/ and http://westtownbikes.org/
