Bike Day 2021 was organized on September 14, 2021! Here are some of the numbers from the events from Bike Day 2021.

Bike to Work Day:

• Held in the morning from 7 - 10 am
• Record-breaking event with 16 welcoming stations in Champaign County, including 9 on-campus
• Record 802 pre-registrations to attend the event and more than 150 walk-in registrations
• University Housing provided refreshments to all campus welcoming stations
• iSEE produced a video highlighting the event

Light the Night:

• Held in the evening from 4 - 7 pm
• Three locations: Alma Mater, Hallene Gateway, and Campus Bike Center
• 40 volunteers for the event
• installed nearly 750 light sets (front and rear)

General feedback was very positive from the campus community members. Several mentioned that holding these events in September felt like a welcoming event and gave the returning and new students an opportunity to explore the campus and community on bike and learn about the bike program at the beginning of school year!

The Bike Month Planning team and Light the Night Planning teams are considering organizing both of these events in the fall semester going forward.
