Description

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will organize a "Learn to Ride a Bicycle" workshop for university students (adults) at least one time every year. The University will work with a local League Certified Instructor (LCI) for this project. One has to be an LCI to teach somebody how to ride a bicycle. In FY24, the Bike Fee allocated $1,000 for this project.

The Champaign-Urbana Safe Routes to School (C-U SRTS) organizes Bike Rodeos every year for young bicyclists to practice and develop skills that will help them to become better bicyclists and avoid typical crashes. The main focus of a Bike Rodeo is teaching cycling safety to young cyclists ages kindergarten to 14 or so.
