At 10am every Monday morning you can listen to Yarra Bicycle Users Group Radio on 3CR Community Radio; podcast, on-demand, streaming and digital. Also see our YarraBUG Radio mirror site

Broadcasting on 3CR Community Radio since 2008, YarraBUG Radio presenters are Faith Hunter, Val Nagle, Steve Barnett & Chris Star

We have very diverse and long term cycling interests and no doubt if you’ve spent any time on a bike around Melbourne you’ve probably met one or all of us at some point

YarraBUG Radio encourages everyone to join in the sheer fun of bicycle riding and to also raise awareness in sustainable transport issues

We would like our show to be for everyone, cyclists or not and we would love non-cyclists to be in our audience
