This site is the wiki for the JCU Bicycle Users Group.

The purpose of the BUG is:

"To represent the interests and concerns of JCU cyclists to the University and other appropriate bodies.
To promote cycling at JCU and in Townsville and Cairns in collaboration with local Bicycle User Groups"

The BUG exists to support people in the James Cook University Community who use bicycles as a means of transportation to and from campus and around town. We aim to champion the needs of cyclists in discussions with local governments and the University's governing bodies, as well as providing information and support for cyclists within the community.

While some members of the JCU BUG are involved in the sport of cycling, this group is not a sporting club - it is a Health & Fitness, or Lifestyle club. We view bicycles as an alternative form of transport to cars, and a method of creating a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable environment.
