Since bikes are considered a form of transportation, businesses are able to continue to serve their communities. So if you\u2019re in the market for a new set of wheels or need a quick tune up, here are some Chicago bike shops, ready to help you out!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75448\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75448 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o.jpg 960w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-842x842.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-406x406.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/93435444_10156724794787237_8590947993828458496_o-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Village Cycle Center Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Village Cycle Center<\/h2>\n<p>The nation\u2019s largest bike store is open for business.
