This little cycle shop is tucked away on the edge of downtown Skokie. When I was looking desperately for a bike box so I could take my bike on a plane, they were the only ones who offered one for free.
It turns out that this place has been there for at least 20 years! And it's owned by pretty much the same folks who started it. The lock and other accessories I bought was a bit cheaper than I had seen it at other bike shops, and the person there (not Al, but I forget his name) was courteous and helpful. We talked bikes for a little bit, and I went on my merry way.
Go here. Patronize this business. More little bike shops are needed, and I believe this might be the only independent one in Skokie. They're great.
