Welcome to the Bribie Island Bicycle User Group website!
Welcome to the Bribie Island Bicycle User Group website!
The Bribie Island Bicycle User Group (Bribie BUG) was formed to provide an outlet for locals to get together, have a good time, promote fitness and discover new places on Bribie Island and surrounding areas and now has about 120 members! Bribie Island is the perfect place to cycle! It has beautiful beaches and the ideal subtropical climate. We also aim to address issues that need to be fixed in the community such as infrastructure, cycle awareness and improvement to cycle paths.

Do you or your bike need more exercise?
Bribie BUG has rides every Saturday morning. Rides leave at 7:00 am, 7:30 am and 8:00 am from the Information Centre, Benabrow Avenue, Bellara for rides to Banksia Beach or Woorim and from the end of Kalmakuta Drive off Bribie Island Road, Sandstone Point for rides to Sandstone Lakes. If you live on the island, give yourself about 15 minutes extra to walk or drive over the bridge.
Most of our rides take 2 to 3 hours (including coffee) and cover about 20-25km at a moderate pace to suit those participating. All cyclists welcome. Contact us via bribiebug@yahoo.com.au or just turn up at the designated start point (Information Centre or Kalmakuta rive) 5-10 minutes before ride time.
On Monday morning our 'Monday Rides' around Bribie leave at 7:00 am, 7:30 am and 8:00 am from the Information Centre, 20 mins later at Bribie Bridge, 30 mins later at Bribie Jetty and continue to coffee at Woorim.
We also have an Early Birds ride on Wednesday mornings leaving the Information Centre at 6:30 am in winter (April to August) and 6:00 am in summer (September to March). This 20km social ride takes about an hour through the streets of Banksia Beach with the option of coffee afterwards. We generally break into two groups, one at about 20km/h and a slower, and bit shorter, ride at about 15 km/h.
Two different Thursday Rides: an early 40km Ride and a Leisurely Social Ride at 9:00 am.
The start time for the 40km ride varies from 6:30 am to 7:00 am depending on the day. It follows roads around Bribie Island at a speed of 25km/h with coffee at the RSL afterwards. The ride may start earlier if a special destination is chosen. Participants get in touch with each other by phone and message the day before.
The "Leisurely Social" 75 minute ride is a ride averaging 15km/h for those who prefer to take it easy or who want to try out riding in a group. This ride starts from the picnic area on Solander Esplanade at the end of Sunderland Drive and finishes with coffee at Cafe 191 at the Community Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive.
We also often have other rides and social activities on and off the Island, which are published through our free email mailing list, or you can view these away rides in RIDE LIST under the HOME page at the top bar menu. Contact via email bribiebug@yahoo.com.au if you are keen to join in any of these!
If you intend to join a ride away from Bribie Island (red highlight on our RIDE LIST), please contact the ride leader.
Please send an email to bribiebug@yahoo.com.au if you would like to be added to our mailing list.
We look forward to seeing you on a ride!
