Bicycle User Group
(Redirected from Bicycle user group)
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[edit]
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
