that spot is located right around Irving Park and the lakefront path. I think they are just south of the tennis courts ?

same disclaimer for me : I have never used them or have no affiliation with them. maybe check Yelp for other places with feedback ?
Good suggestions, Skip & Dan. Here's the Yelp link:

I'd start with Bobby's Bike Hike:

Second choice Trek Store on S. Michigan Ave.
I like the Yelp review of Bobby's where they complain that too much emphasis was put on how to properly use the "heavy" U-lock :-)
Excellent. Now if we could get every bike shop to follow suit.
Speaking personally.... even if the person renting the bike is willing to assume complete liability for the bike if they refuse the lock... and even if a few hundred bucks is nothing to them... the thought of gifting a bike to a thief turns my stomach.

I got oysters about bike locks from them.
But how do you really feel?
Damara,
your description of your TRAINING RIDE makes me want to conceive a Monty Python-esque training ride that involves the intervals-and-getting-sweaty type of training interspersed with grueling lounging-about-and-nibbling-on-scones type of training. It will be called the 'TRAINING RIDE', all caps :)
