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

Chicago Area Cyclists!, ?Rentals?

Is there any where in the greater Chicago area that you can rent a quality bike from. My brother will be coming to town for Bike the Drive (and a nephew visit) and is hoping to get an opportunity to ride a differrent, cool bike (plus not pack and ship his bike from GA) He knows his bikes so the Navy Pier Beach Cruisers won't do the trick. It'll probably be a week long rental.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Thanks

The boathouse by North Ave beach and Navy Pier rents bikes - their only road bike selection is Trek 1000.
