Re:     	The University of Illinois celebrates National Bike Month 
this May.

Bicycling is an excellent mode of transportation in Champaign-Urbana. On 
our campus, you can expect a minimum of 5,000 cyclists are present on any 
given day. The safety of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists is a campus 
priority and we are mindful of that as we celebrate National Bike Month. 

How to Celebrate National Bike Month:

- Participate in the first community-wide C-U Bike to Work Day, Tuesday, 
May 4, 2010. For free event registration, to volunteer or for more 
information about the event, visit: 
<www.champaigncountybikes.org/CUBikeToWork/>.

- Provide input about improvements for bike parking around campus by May 
22, 2010. Choose campus locations that need new or improved bike parking 
via an online survey at: <http://go.illinois.edu/BikeParkingSurvey>.  

- Join the Campus Bike Project. Members can repair their old bike, 
purchase a used bike, learn more about cycling, or volunteer to assist 
others. For more information, visit: 
<http://go.illinois.edu/CampusBikeProject>

- Share a bike on campus. The Illinois Cross-Campus Bicycle program 
provided six bicycles on campus for use by employees as a pilot program. 
Interested departments should contact the Transportation Demand Management 
office at fandscampustdm@fs.illinois.edu or 217-333-2668. 

Bicycling is supported and encouraged on our campus and in the Champaign-
Urbana area. Remember that cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians must follow 
the Rules of the Road so we can all safely travel the campus. HAVE FUN and 
BE SAFE!This mailing approved by:
