The day in which I'm forced to give up my bike will be a sad day for me.

The day on which I'm forced to give up my bike will be a sad day for me.

The day at which I'm forced to give up my bike will be a sad day for me.

Are the three sentences are Okay?
If they are all Okay, are there any differences between them?

IIt's somewhat tricky to use prepositions...

Thank you.

If you must use a preposition, use on.

Otherwise, just say 'The day I'm forced to give up my bike will be a sad day for me.'

Thank you for your answer.
The reason why I posted this question is that I saw this sentence, too.

I vividly remember the day in which I first met and kissed her.

So I was wondering whether ther are differences when using each of them.

And about the sentence I originally asked I also think 'on' is the better option.
