Bike for Earth Day – Light Set and T-Shirt Giveaway

Celebrate Earth Day on Tuesday, April 21, by riding your bike on campus and picking up a set of lights or registering your bicycle!

This year’s Bike for Earth Day event will feature four welcoming centers open from 4 to 7 p.m. at:

• Alma Mater Plaza
• Green Street/Lincoln Avenue (adjacent Illinois Street Residence Halls [918 and 1012 W. Illinois Street])
• Ikenberry Commons (enclosed bike shelter next to Flagg Hall [1207 S. Fourth St])
• National Soybean Research Center (1101 Peabody Drive)

Bike Light Giveaway

You MUST bring your bicycle to receive a free light set while supplies last. Remember, bike lights are required by Illinois law when riding at night. Volunteers are needed to help assist with installations.

Protecting Your Bike

Anyone registering their bicycle at Bike for Earth Day will receive a complimentary T-shirt. The one-time $10 registration fee will help protect your bicycle by adding it to the 529 Garage national database. You will also receive a 529 Shield (registration tag) to place on your bike for added theft deterrence.

Per the University Bicycle Ordinance, bicycle registration is mandatory for all bicycles parked or operated on campus and owned by students, staff, faculty, university departments, community members, and bike share vendors.
