The Whittlesea Bicycle Users Group has developed the following statement of the values it believes will help provide an enjoyable environment for all to socialise and reap the benefits of bicycle riding. As our group grows and becomes more diverse, we must be mindful of other cultures and beliefs to ensure that our actions (inadvertent or otherwise) do not detract from everyone enjoying the benefits we offer.

Words in lower case letters in various colours on a white background. The words are whittleseabug, respect, integrity, safety and accountability.
