Biking
Bicycling is a proven sustainable form of transportation, and we, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, strongly encourage our students, faculty, staff, and visitors to utilize the bicycle infrastructure available on campus. As of October 2019, the campus can accommodate up to 11,635 bicycles, and nearly all campus buildings have a bike rack within 150 feet.
