thanks JS for taking up this cause
I've ridden out of O'Hare. It was madness. We were coming back from a long tour and the CTA wouldn't let us bring our bikes on the train due to it being July 4th.
So, It can be done, but it's not fun.

Can you actually ride a bike around O'Hare? I thought the station was in the terminal and the airport is accessed via a limited access highway. I think I read biking directions to O'Hare once and it told you to take the Blue Line to get into the actual airport.
Did you have to ride on the side of I-190 or is there another way?

Correct! :)
I have gone to O'Hare on foot using the Terminal 5 approach. It was not "easy" but it can be done.
Looks like there is a way out from Terminal 5

Guys, he's not riding from the airport. Jason is probably taking his bike on the blue line and getting off at the last stop, to go to work at O'hare airport, I'm assuming. He would like to be able to lock his bike up at there. Hoping it will be safer then leaving it outside at some other stop along the way.
There's bike parking (last I heard) at the long-term parking lot on the ATS (most northern station).
I'd say it's a CTA issue, but CDOT often supplies CTA the racks. However, the City of Chicago Department of Aviation may own the CTA station, since it's on their property.
