How Do I Rent an Ice Cream Bicycle?????

My pops did this as a youngin'. When I lived in the city years ago I remember a store front that had a bunch of good humor bike carts, but I can't remember where that is. Anyone do this? I'm a teacher and would love a summer job that wasn't retail or food service. I'm sure others might enjoy the information too.

I know there is one location on Lawrence around Kedzie or so. I walked by and saw dozens and dozens of the bikes. It might be a place to check out. Sorry that I don't have more information.

Hey Scott:

I love that idea! I think there's a store front on lawrence, west of California, that I've seen.

There was a guy selling one on Craig's list a couple of years ago. He bought it for his teenage son as a business opportunity but his son wasnt having any part of it.

I'd love to help you out selling sometime but if my parole officer ever found out I was selling ice cream to kids I'd get locked up again in a heartbeat!

Wanna grab a beer on Saturday?
