Just about any 70's/80's bike boom "ten-speed" or more modern hybrid bike should work as a commuter bike; older mountain bikes work well for this purpose as well.
Nearly New Bikes on Ashland just north of Irving is probably closest to you - I bought my runabout bike from them many years ago. Their inventory wasn't the flashiest, but they did offer a 30(?) day warranty on the bike.
You could also try Quick Release Bikes on Ashland, just south of North Avenue - I believe Joe has a few used bikes for sale, and he has probably forgotten more about bikes than I will ever know.
If you want to support non-profits you can check out Working Bikes, The Recyclery or Blackstone Bicycle Works - be advised though that none of them are exactly convenient to Lakeview/60614 and they all have limited retail hours.
