Light the Night 2021 - Free bicycle light giveaway event!
Join us for the 14th annual Light the Night, a bike light giveaway event.
Tuesday, September 14, 2021 from 4-7 pm at three locations:
  1. Alma Mater Plaza,
  2. Hallene Gateway (intersection of Illinois and Lincoln), and
  3. Campus Bike Center (51. E. Gregory Dr., Champaign)
 
Over 800-1,000 bike light sets installed most years.
 
Safety of bicyclists in our campus community is a high priority, and as the days grow shorter in the fall and more people are bicycling at night. Illinois Law requires all bicycles to have lights at night, but it does not require that bikes be sold with light sets and many bicycle riders are not aware of the law. This event is meant to improve safety on campus and in the community by providing bike lights to students, faculty, staff, and community members.
 
Attendees are required to bring their bicycles for the free installation. U of I Covid protocols will be followed for this event.
Volunteer to help!
​This event is organized in partnership between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD), City of Champaign, City of Urbana, Village of Savoy, Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), Champaign County Bikes, the Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, and C-U Safe Routes to School Project.
