I have new friends, but you don't start begging for stuff like that from someone you've known for less than a month ( I feel uncomfortable doing that). I will go for the rental...I looked up the rates online, $35 per day from Bike Chicago. I guess it's not too bad...
Gosh, you've all made me so self-conscious now, I wonder whether I would be able to find a place desert enough for my,hum, "training" sessions ...I know I had a bicycle till I was about 4 yrs old, but I don't remember how to ride one, and no it won't just come back once I sit on the saddle...I have tried


What do you guys think about Forge bikes? someone suggested that it could be an option if I can find a place to assemble it for me.

Thanks
