I think people whine way too much about things no one gives a frack about. If you want to ride a bike, then do it don't whine about it to the entire world and then cry racism.
Dont you think this is ironic considering what's happening in this very thread?
Who's crying racism and where?
Mind quoting the part of the article here?
The racism is in saying it's too white. The problem isn't a lot of white people do it, it's that others don't. Making comments about things being too white further promotes anti white racism. Solve the actual problem which is that not as many non whites have bought in, which has nothing to do with the people who did buy in.
Too few women and people from ethnic minority groups cycle in London and more must be done to promote diversity among a largely white, male and middle class biking community
There is a problem with cycling and the way it is perceived of getting middle-aged men cycling faster around the city, which is not the objective at all.

See there is the problem some fools created a cycling commission. To many beaurcrats . Most people out grew riding bikes once we got grown up last time I tried it I broke my arm because of piss poor road quality.

The roads like here are like the surface of the Moon. You daren't ride through a puddle because you don't know how deep or sharp the pothole underneath is.
The problem is that cyclists and lumped in with walkers and not with other road users. Then we might see better road surfaces.
Shame you grew out of cycling. I feel the same way about driving, particularly in London.
