Easy to Remember: "10/10/10 at 10" for UPTV's telecast of "C-U Sharing the Road"!

UPTV's first telecast of the new joint Champaign-Urbana production "C-U Sharing the Road" will be this coming Sunday, October 10th, at 10 pm.  For repeat broadcast dates and times consult the UPTV program schedule at urbanaillinois.us/uptv.

The cities of Urbana and Champaign have been working the past several months to produce the program to introduce the public to the bicycle infrastructure that is being installed around both cities, and to teach motorists and bicyclists how to interact with each other on the road.

The program was recorded, edited and produced by Urbana Public Television's Jason Liggett.  It was shot on the streets of C-U and features many local residents.

Topics covered in the program include:

• Rules of the Road – ride with traffic, stop at stop signs, be predictable

• Bicycling Infrastructure – bike lanes, shared lane markings

• Bike / Bus Interaction – pass bus on left, pass with at least 3 feet

• Sidewalk / Shared-use-path Riding – no bikes on downtown sidewalks

"C-U Sharing the Road" was also sponsored by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Champaign-Urbana MTD, the C-U Safe Routes to Schools Project, and Champaign County Bikes.
