Urban Bike Rentals
The perfect way to see Chicago is on two wheels. Whether you are new to cycling and want to try before you buy or you are in town without a bike, a rental bike from Earth Rider 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 comfort and fitness hybrids, road bikes, ebikes, youth (24 inch wheel) and trailer.
