NillumBUG, the esteemed bicycle user group (BUG) for the Nillumbik Shire in Melbourne's delightful north-east, is here to cater to the needs and interests of cyclists from all corners of the shire. Whether you're into touring, commuting, or simply enjoy a leisurely ride, this splendid group has got you covered.
Having made their grand entrance in the cycling scene in the late 2005, NillumBUG was established by a group of visionary residents who shared a common goal: to advocate for the design and construction of a magnificent cycle path stretching from Diamond Creek to Hurstbridge. Since then, they have been diligently working towards enhancing the cycling experience for all.
In addition to promoting the joyous benefits of cycling, such as improved health and fitness, NillumBUG also recognises the paramount importance of social interaction. That's why they organise regular meetings, including a remarkable Annual General Meeting in August and a fabulous Christmas break-up party in December. It's the perfect opportunity to get together, exchange tales of pedal-powered adventures, and possibly plan new escapades.
But their dedication doesn't stop there! NillumBUG also takes the initiative to connect with local government and VicRoads, championing the concerns and interests of cyclists. By collaborating with these esteemed entities, they aim to create a harmonious and safe environment for cyclists to pedal their way through the stunning landscapes of Nillumbik Shire.
If the mention of NillumBUG's outstanding activities has piqued your interest, fear not! You can reach out to them via postal mail at the marvellous address of PO BOX 492, Diamond Creek, 3089. They'll be more than happy to provide you with further information or assist you on your quest to join this vibrant community.
So, dear cycling enthusiasts, it's time to hop on your trusty two-wheeled steeds and embrace the spirit of NillumBUG. Join the ranks of devoted cyclists who have come together with a shared love for cycling and a vision for a brighter, more bicycle-friendly future. Let's ride on, my friends!
