There is a bike rental place on the path a short walk north of Belmont Harbor, by the tennis courts. They rent all sorts of bikes. I don't know if they do multi-day rentals, but it's worth asking.

J111 NAs?

I think the place that is right on the trail is called Lakeshore Bike. Daily rates look a little steep but maybe they will cut you a break if you do several days.

chicagobikeshops.info has a list of shops that rent bikes.

Looks like its cheaper to rent a car.  Would Divvy work?

Here at Greenline Wheels you can rent a single or 7-speed Cutler hybrid road bike. It'll come with a helmet, u-lock, pannier, and lights. It costs $90 for 1-7 days. It's a new program that we've just started up so you won't see the details on our website just yet. You have to pay a $300 deposit up front that will be refunded as soon as you bring the bike back.

If you want more information or you want to reserve the bikes, just call the shop and ask for Abigail 708-725-7170. We're located just off the Harlem stop on the green line in Oak Park or the Oak Park stop on the UP-W Metra.

 

Our address is 105 South Marion Street in Oak Park, IL 60302.

I reached out to Bobby's months ago about working with our regatta and never heard back, bummer. Would have been really nice tie in, maybe I'll give en a ring.

Abigail, little far for us.we are in the city at Belmont harbour.

Divy is a possibility, have not looked into the stations.

Eli, yes indeed J111 NAC.
