Melbourne BUG is a Bicycle User Group for the City of Melbourne municipality. Anyone who lives in, cycles through or is interested in cycling in the CBD, Carlton, North Melbourne, West Melbourne, East Melbourne, Docklands or on St Kilda Rd is welcome to join or contribute to Melbourne BUG.

Our membership is diverse including city workers and residents, students of various city educational institutions and commuters who ride through the municipality.
