New England Bicycle Users Group (NEBUG) is a sports club based in Armidale Dumaresq Council, dedicated to promoting and supporting bicycle use in the local community. NEBUG provides a platform for cycling enthusiasts of all levels to come together, share their passion for cycling, and participate in various recreational and competitive activities.
The club's main objectives are to encourage safe and responsible cycling practises, advocate for the rights and interests of cyclists, and foster a sense of community among its members. NEBUG offers a range of programmes and events designed to cater to the diverse needs and interests of its members.
NEBUG organises regular group rides, where cyclists of all abilities can join and explore the scenic routes in and around Armidale. These rides not only provide opportunities for fitness and enjoyment but also serve as a platform for cyclists to socialise and build connexions with like-minded individuals.
In addition to group rides, NEBUG also hosts various skill-building workshops and training sessions to help cyclists enhance their riding techniques and improve their overall performance. These sessions are led by experienced coaches and cover topics such as bike handling, maintenance, and road safety.
NEBUG actively participates in local and regional cycling events and competitions. The club represents its members in races and supports them in achieving their personal cycling goals. Whether it's road racing, mountain biking, or touring, NEBUG members have the opportunity to challenge themselves and test their abilities in a supportive and encouraging environment.
NEBUG also engages in advocacy work to promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. The club actively collaborates with local authorities and organisations to improve cycling infrastructure, promote road safety initiatives, and raise awareness about the benefits of cycling for individuals and the community.
Joining NEBUG offers numerous benefits, including access to a supportive community of fellow cyclists, opportunities for skill development and training, participation in organised rides and events, and the chance to contribute to the growth and development of cycling in the Armidale Dumaresq region.
Whether you're a recreational cyclist looking for a social and supportive riding group or a competitive cyclist seeking opportunities to test your skills, NEBUG welcomes cyclists of all ages and levels of experience. Together, we can promote a cycling-friendly culture and enjoy the many benefits that cycling brings.
