In FY23, we have received several bike class requests through the Bike Class Form on the Bike at Illinois website: https://bike.illinois.edu/safety/bike-classes/. We will organize classes in FY24 based on this data:

We have replaced the bike repair stations at Campus Bike Center, Altgeld Hall, and in the parking lot C-9 at the intersection of Fifth and Daniels.

The contract with Project 529 was renewed to continue our partnership in the FY24. This will allow our students, faculty, staff, and community members access to a national bicycle registration system.

The contract was signed by Project 529 on 6/27/2023 and it was submitted to Contracts+ for UIUC signatures.

The bicycle repair station at Campus Bike Center was replaced with Saris Public repair station. The installation was completed on 6/26/2023

Attached digital signs was shared with several departments on campus with the following message:

F&S is in the process of removing all abandoned bicycles left on campus over the summer. All bicycles on campus property have been tagged with an orange sticker. If a bicycle still has this sticker by July 5, it will be considered abandoned and subsequently impounded. Bicyclists must remove this tag from their bicycle to keep it active and to avoid impound.

This sign was posted on 6/22/2023 until 7/14/2023 at the following departments:

• Illini Union and Bookstore
• F&S
• BIF
• Campus Recreation
• Beckman
• Architecture Building (FAA)

F&S has received 4 new Ford F-150 Lightnings all electric trucks, bringing the total to 6 Ford Lightnings and 1 Ford e-Transit cargo van for F&S fleet.

We have also installed another level-2 Ford dual point smart chargers on the south side of PPSB and we are working on the installation on another one. We have 2 more chargers to install. The Charging Stations installations are being done using the SSC funding.

All, Pretty chill week overall. Great weather but not very busy. Got some donations from Champaign Cycle last Tuesday.

One student worker that just graduated did a bike trip down the western border of Illinois last week and is headed to Iceland for another biking trip tomorrow. He bike-commutes and also did I4K. Great to see folks explore all the different ways to have fun with a bike.

Another student worker is scaling back here as they were offered more hours at Champaign Cycle. Always good to see staff move on to bigger and better things.

Thanks to Todd for grabbing scrap over the long weekend.

Visitors: 28
Sales: $904.42
Bikes (refurb): 2 for $360
