Hi,
I'll be in Chicago in a few days and need to box a couple of bikes. Any suggestions for shops?

Such as France is a big country, Chicago is a BIG city.
Where will you be staying?

This site, the Chicago Bike Shop Database, should help you locate a suitable bike shop. My favorite is Get a Grip Cycles.

Good analogy BTW, pure genius!
Anyway, I found the bike shop database and called around. Finding a shop that is willing to do the work on a weekend and actually does box bikes proved to be a little more difficult than you would imagine. Get a grip is closed on monday, which is when I would need to pick up the boxed bikes, so that didn't work out. Finally ended up scheduling an appointment with kozy's cyclery so I hope that was a good choice.

Which Kozy's shop (location) did you go with? There's like 4 or 5, I forget. It *should* be fine but it all depends on the person doing the job (but boxing a bike isn't that hard). I've had good luck in all my dealings with Kozy's.
