Past Events:

On December 8, 2022, we held our Annual Meeting at the Champaign Public Library. More information, visit the 2022 Annual Meeting page.

On May 18, 2022 we had another very successful local Ride of Silence. This is an annual international bicycle ride to commemorate cyclists killed and to support those injured while riding on public roads. View the photo gallery (thanks to photographers Annie, Cynthia, and Rick). Additional pictures from the ride can be found on Facebook, the CU Bike Month webpages, as well as news coverage in last Thursday’s News-Gazette.
