i've noticed a few bikes chained up at work and was considering starting a bug(bike users group)
has anyone ever started or joined a workplace bug? care to share any tips to getting one started up
 
what is a bike user group anyway? an interest group of like minded people , a union ?
 
BUG stands for Bicycle Users’ Group. A BUG is one of the best ways of supporting and
encouraging cycle commuting. It is a group of people who want to improve workplace
facilities for cyclists. such as bike racks and storage , showers , lockers etc

can also organise outings , provide maps of bike paths etc
 
What is a BUG?
BUG stands for Bicycle Users’ Group. A BUG is one of the best ways of supporting and
encouraging cycle commuting. It is a group of people who want to improve workplace
facilities for cyclists.
You only need one or two enthusiastic cyclists to get a BUG up and running.


Why start a BUG?
Support for cycling within the organisation can encourage decision-makers to provide
facilities for cyclists. The combined voices of a number of people is much more effective than
individuals trying to do everything by themselves.

The benefits to the employer
A growing number of employers now recognise the benefits of encouraging their staff to be
healthier. Cycling is one of the best ways to promote health because it is affordable, practical
and easily integrated into daily activity.
People who cycle to work regularly are more productive and take less time off sick than
non-cycling employees.

With fewer staff using cars, less space is required for car parking.
Pro-cycling organisations are seen as caring and environmentally aware employers.
The cycle commuter has no problems with traffic jams. Cyclists arrive at work more
alert and less frustrated.

The benefits to the individual
Cycling is a good way of staying fit and healthy. Regular cycling can halve the risk of
coronary heart disease.
Cycling will save you money.
In the rush hour, it is faster to use a bike than public transport or a car.
It is easier to park a bike than a car.
 
as for the question , nope never started a bug myself , but did join up with one , it was good while it last but after awhile it sort of lost the steam
