Maybe you can check it for a few hours at Union Station?

+1..good point. If you can check your bike, Union Station is in a convenient location. If you're an art lover..the Art Institute is a few blocks east..wonderful place to spend a couple hours...world-class collection. Some nice parks to the east, Michigan Ave is right there. Lots of stuff around there.
