Earth Rider started out in a small Wisconsin town at the start of the Sugar River Trail in 2005 but our fascination with sustainable transportation extends to the big city and the 606 trail. We are proud to establish and operate Earth Rider in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago at 1873 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60647 dedicated to urban mobility. We are obsessed to help you ride more often, more safely, and more comfortably. We offer bike rentals (including ebikes), sales, repairs, and all the necessities whether you own or use bike or scooter share (helmets, outerwear, and bags). It is all about the bike. We invite you to experience all that we have to offer.

The bike is a very powerful builder of community. Nothing says 'me' like an automobile. Nothing says 'we' like a bike." - Harry Wray
