Add article description

A Bicycle User Group (BUG or B.U.G.) is a group set up to promote cycling issues in, for example, a place of employment or a local government area. A BUG might be part of or affiliated with a bigger organization representing cyclists' interests at City or State level.

Activities

For example, the Group may lobby the employer or local authority to –

  • install bicycle parking facilities
  • encourage motorists to respect cyclists
  • install shower facilities in places of work
  • construct bicycle paths and on-road bike lanes
  • reduce speed limits on local roads or otherwise improve local roads for cyclists

The Group may encourage other members of the organisation or area to take up cycling.[1] They may make special arrangements to assist new cyclists, such as -

  • a program of rides
  • community Bike Days
  • preparing maps of good routes
  • offering education and advice
  • organizing group commuting bicycle buses
  • assistance in obtaining cycling grants
