This tour was a comfortable pace filled with local art and history of each space. The ability to ride through the city made us feel like a local even though my riding skills may have indicated otherwise. Thank you Steve for making us feel like a priority to you and your city. Would love to come and do this again.

First time renting a motorcycle from Eagle Rider. I flew into ORD Airport and noticed the sunny…read moreweather so decided to rent something a little more fun than a car. I used the Eagle Rider website to reserve the Harley motorcycle and picked the bike 30 minutes later. Employee Danny Brown had the Street Glide ready to go. Danny gave a good overview of all the bike features, helped me pair my phone with the Bluetooth stereo on the bike, and even provided some direction to get me to where I wanted to ride. I would highly recommend renting a motorcycle from him and will probably rent next time I am in town. Photo is of the bike while on a ride along Lake Michigan .

I have been a Member of Eagle Rider for a few years now. Originally I joined so that I could get…read morean idea of what type of motorcycle I enjoyed riding before I just went off and purchased one. I do a lot of research before I purchase large ticket items and I thought that by having a lot of different rental options I could narrow my new motorcycle purchase down. The reason I still have not purchased a motorcycle is that the service at my local Eagle Rider Facility has been exceptional. Danny Brown, the manager, has always been exceptional with his communication. If he can accommodate a last minute rental request he will do what he can to assist. If my first choice is not available he will work to get me something to ride. With that said all of the Eagle Rider Rentals are top quality newer model bikes. This along with the fact that I don't have to detail a bike or store a bike is why I keep coming back season after season. Thanks Danny for the great experience. Dirk Hoerr Oak Park, IL

I walked in and was greeted right away. The staff is really friendly! She did an initial evaluation and then had others take a look. Well it needed more than a tune-up. The tires were shot, the gears were not switching. They gave me a list of things and I declined somethings but got the rest. I turned it in but it was busy they said and it would take 2 weeks. They would text me when ready. 2 weeks later, I did not receive a text. A week later, they called and informed me that they missed an issue at check-in and that it would take another week or so as they had to place an order. It is a good thing I have a mountain bike to train with! I received a text and went to go pick it up a couple weeks later as I just didn't have the time. When I picked up the bike, I wish they would have given me a refresher on all the things they fixed (one by one) but I could have also asked. I've ridden the bike and it is good as new. Overall, they did a good job on fixing the bike, Maybe a better checkout process and intake process so they don't miss anything.

One of the best things I did while visiting Chicago! I booked the 8:30 p.m. Tall Ship Windy sail,…read moreand it was worth every penny. We left around 8:30 to 8:45, and by the time the 9:00 p.m. fireworks started, we had a front row view from the water. It was absolutely incredible. The captain and crew were friendly, welcoming, and did an amazing job. The ship wasn't overcrowded, so there was plenty of room to walk around and take in the views. Watching the fireworks with the Chicago skyline in the background was unforgettable. After the fireworks, we sailed under the night sky with the sails up and great music playing. It honestly felt like I was in the Caribbean, except with an amazing city skyline all around us. I'm from New York and was in Chicago for work, and I have to say this was even more impressive than seeing the New York skyline from the water. I also own a sailboat, so I really appreciated how well the crew handled the ship. One of my favorite parts was that guests could even help hoist the sails. There was a full bar with a really good rum punch, and so many great spots to take pictures of the sunset and the skyline. The crew was also happy to take photos for people. If you're going, get to Navy Pier early and enjoy the restaurants and drinks before your sail. This is great for families, couples, or even if you're traveling by yourself like I was. It's a unique experience that you won't get on one of the regular tour boats. I would absolutely do this again the next time I'm in Chicago.

Staff was so amazing and kind, relaxing way to see the city on a calm and quiet sailboat so much funread more

What a great idea a mobile bike repair/maintenance van circulating & servicing bikes that can come to your house and service your bike. I talked to Adam who was in the van working on someone's bike. He was super knowledgeable and provided a ton of information about the services they provide. The van was loaded w/bike parts needed to service bikes. I wish I knew about them 2 weeks ago as I just took my bike in for a complete tune up & got it back 09/10/20. If you want to schedule a repair or maintenance on your bike call 1(855) VELOFIX or go online @ www.velofix.com It's a great service to have especially now when all the bike shops seem to be booked w/a 10-14 day period to get your bike serviced FYI there is another Velofix truck that operates out of Arlington Heights.

I was intending to go to a bike shop closer to home, but as we were out in Hoffman we just happened to find this place. We stopped in with my tire and we were quickly and warmly greeted by someone who gave us a time estimate and started checking it out. While he worked we walked around their large bike shop and let our kid take some test drives. During this time the guy came to us a few times and showed me what was wrong and some of the debris that had been in the wheel. Also while here I found a much needed bike pump and got the employee's stamp of approval for it. It only took around 15 minutes and everything was set to go, and gave me some advice on how to avoid this in the future. While it's a bit far from home to make it my regular spot for bike maintenance I'm glad we found it and recommend it to anyone nearby.

They have so many historical Calliope's from Europe and US on the premises. Also many other items including Tiffany lamps, steam trains/engines, a perfume museum and a restored carousel in its own building that is really something to see!
