I need to clarify something about The Bike Box; i'm the mechanic, not the owner. The owner is Bernard Loyd of Urban Juncture.

Looks like the owner's family didn't know how to spell "Lloyd", Welsh spelling "Llwyd", but either way there is a double-L to start with.

Actually, the owner of the BikeBox is Bronzeville Bikes, which is a part of Urban Juncture Foundation.  

Credit must go to the many contributors to the building and outfitting of the BikeBox, including Bill Depenbrock (construction leader & BikeBox manager); Sharon Samuels & Darin Triplett (design); Urban Juncture, Inc., Bill Depenbrock, Evanston Bike Club & SRAM/QBP (financial support); and numerous neighborhood and IIT volunteers! 

And, yes, there are Loyds who spell their name with one "L" :).
