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 90 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.


Bribie BUG's Ride Bribie Island 2017 event aims to get more riders riding more often and especially on Bribie Island. There is more information at the bottom of this page. Reserve Sunday October 29.


Do you or your bike need more exercise?


Bribie BUG has rides every Saturday morning, either on the island or to Ningi/Sandstone Point, leaving the Information Centre located on Benabrow Avenue, Bellara at 8.00am.

 

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 Bob or Joyce Newell (3408 7743) or just turn up at the Information Centre before 8am. 


Monday morning is our 'Milk Run' where riders join us and drop off wherever they want on a 24 km ride around Bribie.  For further information, contact Peter Crawford (3408 9292).


We also have an Early Birds ride on Wednesday mornings leaving the Information Centre at 6:30 am in winter (May to August) and 6:00 am in summer (September to April).  These are about an hour through the bush, beach, and streets of Banksia Beach with the option of coffee or the Laughing Group afterwards. 

Contact Joyce on 3408 7743 or email: Joyce.Newell@bigpond.com


We also often have other rides and social activities on and off the Island, which are publicised through our free email list.  Please send an email to bribiebug@yahoo.com.au if you would like to be added to this list.


We look forward to seeing you on a ride!
