Making the Illawarra a Better Place to Ride
Welcome to IBUG!
Illawarra Bicycle Users Group (IBUG) is a member-based volunteer organisation affiliated with Bicycle NSW. We work to make the Illawarra a great place to ride for everyone. Our goals are:

What We Do
-
Represent + Advocate
For everyone of all abilities, we help everyone ride with confidence.
-
Increase Cycling
We support local programs and events that help more people ride for transport, health, fun & connection.
-
Improve Infrastructure
We work with councils and governments to prioritise safer cycling infrastructure across the Illawarra.
Our Advocacy
We work to improve cycling across the Illawarra through advocacy, submissions and community action - help us make a change.
Maps and Rides
Explore cycling routes, group rides, and local shared paths across Wollongong, Shellharbour & Kiama.
Women’s Cycling
We believe cycling should be for everyone, especially women and non-binary folk of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. We also believe in community and helping one another feel confident riding, so we created Bicycle Buddies - a free cycling mentor program.
Upcoming Events
