Welcome to the site of the Whittlesea Bicycle Users Group (BUG), covering the City of Whittlesea. The Whittlesea BUG was established in March 2010 to cater for the growing cycling needs of the community. It aims to advocate for better cycling facilities, provide information for cyclists and to allow more opportunities for people to get on the their bikes by organizing rides in the area on a fortnightly basis.
The City of Whittlesea has 184 kilometres of existing on-road bike paths with 223km proposed for the future. Off-road enthusiasts are also catered for with 86.5kms of existing paths and a further 121km proposed for the future. The Whittlesea BUG is an initiative of the Northern Transport Links project. It is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving local conditions for cyclists.
