When Brian McInerney reflects on the humble beginnings of Wheel Fun Rentals, he points to his childhood passion for bikes. "As far back as I can remember, I had a real love affair with bicycles," he recalls. During a trip to Italy in 1987, Brian's affinity for cycling blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when he spotted locals' transporter of choice, the surrey. Inspired, he began importing the Italian four-wheelers to a rental business in the U.S. that eventually expanded into Wheel Fun Rentals, now a nationwide web of shops that also loans out bikes, electric cars and mopeds, and man-powered watercraft.

Atop bicycles and surreys built for solo riders or entire families, patrons embark on self-guided tours of major U.S. cities. Led by maps and lists of nearby sites of historical or cultural significance, riders zoom down bike paths and safe, lightly trafficked streets. Adventuresome athletes can also compete in activities such as surrey scavenger hunts.

After four years spent playing football at the University of Illinois, and three years in the Canadian league, Morris Virgil circled back around to become a fitness coach. “Each client is a direct reflection of me,” he says. “Not in their physique, but in form, effort level, and dedication.”

He springboards off that philosophy during his 45-minute sports-inspired workouts, challenging patrons through functional training methods designed to improve overall health rather than just build washboard vanity abs or butter-churn biceps. Each workout divides time equally between cardiovascular routines, strength-training that leverages body weight, and muscle-sculpting exercises with free weights. The focus of each session alternates by the day of the week, so students can arrive daily for an all-around fit-‘em-up routine or drop in on specified slots to focus on slimming down, toning muscles, or building strength.

Dr. Martin E. Burger strips doctors, pilots, athletes, and regular folk of the "four eyes" nickname with the help of laser-based refractive surgery.

Using a specially chosen laser, Dr. Burger reshapes corneas to sharpen patients' vision.

As a mother of six, Dr. Kim Alexander understands that some people—especially children—can dread the dentist. She works to assuage that anxiety in any way she can, channeling her gentle chairside manner into thorough explanations of what’s going to happen during appointments and what treatment she recommends from the results of exams. Throughout fillings, root canals, or extractions, she keeps patients in the know with what to anticipate as far as any discomfort or startling sensations.

Doctor of Chiropractic Chris Tomshack conquered myriad fields and the skies before pursuing the art of chiropractics.
