B-Cycle

Debuting in Chicago next week, B-Cycle's a Euro-style bike rental operation in which riders can snag cruisers from stations situated around the city (cost is $10/hr with cheaper rates for longer-term passes), with a pilot program focused on downtown spots Buckingham Fountain and McCormick Place, though if you're cruising around on a rented bike, you don't need to go to the auto show to see cars you can't afford.
