Tourist-friendly bike rental in Streeterville - My wife and I really enjoyed the half-day bike rental, which was enough time to pedal along the lake up to Montrose Beach (about 45 minutes to reach that beach), and to stop for lunch and a stroll in Lincoln Park Zoo on the way back. Appreciated the 7 speeds of the comfort bikes compared to the 1-speed of some city bike shares or a Jersey shore boardwalk rental. The staff is knowledgeable, and Bobby's is a working bike shop that keeps the bikes in good repair and gets you outfitted for your ride.

Easygoing and fun ride! - If you’re thinking about renting some bikes and riding about through Lakefront, do it! It’s so much fun and the sights are awesome! We happened to walk in without a time reserved and were able to rent out some bikes easily!

Good company. - I spent a great afternoon biking up and down the lakeshore of Chicago. The staff are polite and friendly. The bike was a basic city bike with no suspension. Good job guys, thanks.
