Urban Bike Rentals

Don't own a bike?  From out of town?  The perfect way to see Chicago is on two wheels.  Whether you are new to cycling and want to try before you buy, are in town without a bike, or hosting friends or family from out of town, a rental bike from Earth Rider in Chicago is your best option for your city mobility experience.   We ride here ourselves and know you want a ride that fits, is in good working order, and at a reasonable price.   We rent urban bikes including hybrids, road bikes, youth (24 inch wheel) and a bike trailer from major bike brands such as Jamis, Reid, Trek, and Lightspeed.  Our bike technicians keep them in good working order all ready for your ride.  Rental periods range from an hour to half day to a day or overnight.  We ask that any bike you rent overnight be stored indoors for security purposes.  Weekly rentals available at selected times based on availability.  When reserving a bike we need to know the height of the rider so we can set aside a bike in the correct size for maximum comfort and safety and we require a credit card to guarantee the reservation and assure a bike is available when you want it.  Walk-in rentals are available as long a bikes are available.  Call us to make arrangements for your next rental bike adventure or reserve online below.
