Duplicate long tail keywords?

I have a question about targeting long tail keywords. I want to try and rank for specific keywords and I plan to pay to have some sort of SEO work done but I don't want to pay for what may be the same keyword. Let me give an example:

Chicago Bicycles
Chicago, IL. Bicycles
Chicago Illinois Bicycles

Chicago Bicycle
Chicago, IL. Bicycle
Chicago Illinois Bicycle

1) Does making Bicycle or Bicycles make a difference? Or if target "Chicago Illinois Bicycles" will I also be ranking for "Chicago Illinois Bicycle" inadvertently?

2) Does making the state "IL." or "Illinois" make a difference? Or if I target "Chicago Illinois Bicycles" will I also be ranking for "Chicago, IL. Bicycles" inadvertently?

3) Should I simply be targeting these 2 keywords:

Chicago Bicycles
Chicago Illinois Bicycles

By going after these 2 keywords will I inadvertently end up ranking for all of these keywords:

Chicago Bicycle
Chicago Bicycles
Chicago, IL. Bicycle
Chicago, IL. Bicycles
Chicago Illinois Bicycle
Chicago Illinois Bicycles

Any help would be appreciated.

    This is old school, since the release of the Hummingbird update it's no longer worth creating variations of the same keyword.

    Hummingbird will take a search engine query using long-tailed keywords and try to decipher the context of the question rather than chase the specific keywords within the question. The goal is to provide results that actually answer the question
    In your example, yes I'd only go after:
    Chicago Bicycles
    Chicago Illinois Bicycles

    The other variations are negligible and Hummingbird will understand the difference.

    If you're targeting more than one keyword in this page you can use Chicago IL Bicycles in place of Chicago Illinois Bicycles

    As a rule of thumb, go for longtails which are in PLURAL FORM
