Attached Files:Student collaboration: Promotion of bicycle registration system
Associated Project(s):Sarthak Prasad met with Shayna Talpallikar to discuss her proposal to promote bicycle registration on campus. Bicycle Registraiton has been mandatory for years, as explained in the University Bicycle Ordinance, and the university should promote it more like that. There is a new national registration system, with a one-time $10 registration fee, and it is available to all - students, faculty, staff, alumni (in C-U area), departmental bicycles, as well as the residents of Urbana, Champaign, Savoy, or any other Champaign County residents.
Shayna expressed interest in helping us out with this project and how we can achieve it. We discussed two main ideas, and thought adding signage to major bicycle parking areas to be the best option right now. Another option was to have Bicycle Registration days or events across campus where we give out free donuts and raffle option to those who register. However, this idea was discouraged due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please see attached some notes from the meeting. A recording of the meeting is also available.

Archive - Description and Background of the Bicycle Registration project
Associated Project(s):Description:
Bicycle registration is primarily a method to assist with returning stolen or lost bikes when they are recovered by Public Safety or Facilities & Services. Bicycle registration is offered for free to faculty, staff, and students at the University of Illinois, and can conveniently be completed online at http://go.illinois.edu/mybike.
In September 2013, the University will be adopting new stickers for bicycle registration, and all registered bike owners will be contacted with instructions on how to receive their new sticker.
To register your bicycle, visit http://go.illinois.edu/mybike
Background:
The benefits of registering your bicycle include:
- It deters theft
- It helps the UIPD reconnect bicycle owners with their lost or stolen bikes
- You can be contacted if your bicycle is impounded or mistaken for abandoned
- It helps the University to better plan for bicycles and bicycle infrastructure
- It allows the University to communicate with bicyclists for important bicycle-related announcements
Bicycle Registration is available now!
Associated Project(s):Bicycle Registration was open for public on July 20, 2020. Currently due to the pandemic, all Shield pick-up locations are closed, so for those who register and want the 529 Shield now, they must contact bike@illinois.edu to arrange for a time and place to collect the Shield. Otherwise, Sarthak Prasad would reach out to them when the Shield pick-up locations are open.
