In the city of Chicago there is Kozy’s and Village Cycle. But for my money, for a great bike or great bike repairs, I head out to the burbs to Richard’s Bikes in Palos Heights (aka RBikes). What’s so great about Richard’s Bikes? They have great prices and great service! They aren’t as busy as the city bike stores and they really take their time with your bike. They also sell a wide range of high quality bikes
