I'm heading to Chicago tomorrow. We will be staying near the pier. Anyone have any experience with renting bikes in the area?

I rented bikes (for myself and my wife) for ~5 days a few years ago - not quite a good as having your own bike, but I still really enjoyed it. The lakeshore trail that runs right by the pier is great.

What shop did you use? What type of bikes did they have?

It was the kiosk right on the Pier - I believe it was a BikeChicago location.
This was a few years ago, but they had some decent (nothing special) hybrids - just simple get-around-town bikes.

Some nice Trek bikes here. Last time I was there I think it was $30 for 4 hrs. Not too bad, and nice folks.
