Ride of Silence 2022!

The Ride of Silence is an annual international bicycle ride to commemorate cyclists killed and support those injured while riding on public roads. The ride will be held on May 18th this year. Our goal is to raise awareness among motorists, the public and decision makers of the dangers cyclists face on the roads, especially from other traffic. We will meet at the I-Hotel parking lot on the north side at 6:00 p.m.
In 2021 we had about 45 cyclists and two Urbana Police Officers join us for our ride May 19th! 

Bike to school day 2021!

Bike to School Day 2021 was on May 5th. Students and parents biked to school or to the Urbana Middle & High School Bike Station to receive a free t-shirt and safety information. Students that biked to the bike station also received snacks, free bike locks, bike lights, and more.
