Clubs / BUGs

Creating a better environment for cycling

If you are looking for people to ride with or want to be more involved with local bicycling activities and advocacy, we suggest you get to know your local BNSW Affiliated Club.

Your local club might call itself a BUG (Bicycle User Group)

Essentially a BUG is a community-based riding club, established by people who ride bikes and want to do more for bike riding at a local level. BUGs vary in size from as few as 3 members to some with over 100, and depending on the specific interests of the people involved the focus might vary between different clubs including social rides and advocacy.

Bicycle NSW has been supporting BUGs since the 1990s and many of the Clubs and BUGs across NSW are affiliated to Bicycle NSW
