History

Moreland Bicycle User Group Incorporated (Moreland BUG) was formed in 2006 through the cooperative merger of BrunsBUG and CoBUG (the Bicycle User Groups of Brunswick and Coburg), which had both been active in the Moreland council area (Melbourne, Australia) since their formation by Bicycle Victoria in 1990. In 2022 the Moreland City Council changed it’s name to Merri-bek and the BUG changed it’s name to match.
