Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Online cycling retailer in Chicago?

Does anyone know the name or web address of an online cycling retailer in the Chicago area? I was riding up Mt. Diablo with a friend this morning (beautiful day here in California) and he mentioned them, but was unsure of the name (something like "Lick Cycling" or "Licht Cycling"). A Gurgle search did not yield any results. Any help would be most appreciated!

Yeah, they are very good, use them all of the time. Their website could use some work but the folks that work there are a pleasure to deal with.

I've been to their store. They are one of the last places on earth that sell 7 speed road cassettes (13-23).

Chicagoland bicycle was GREAT. They gave us our team discount on green bar tape. Went above and beyond for service.

edit: I think this might be the same place as cbike?

But I always went to www.chicagolandbicycle.com
