Being diverse don't mean you always have to include white people. It just means being peaceful with every kind of people. Stop with the "if white people are not included its racist" deceptive garbage.
I gotta say, regardless of the well meaning targets of the group, it creates a division that doesn't need to be there. If black people are underrepresented in "standard" bike clubs, then black people should join those clubs. For disclosure, I'm a black man, and I grow tired of all this well meaning passive segregation being perpetuated by anti racists and feminist. Creating a club called the Black Cyclist Network does two things, creates a space for black people to get into cycling, but it also suggests that white people are not welcome!!!! What would the paper's say if a group called the White Cyclist Network turned up? Can you imagine the backlash? Let's drop these pointless barriers, get people cycling together regardless of race or gender. If the "standard" bike clubs are turning women or people of colour away – that's different. Is this happening? Is Rapha announcing they're a club for white men only? Most of the sexism and prejudice people see is in their imagination, based on rumour and media backed fantasy to foster fear and isolation. Creating groups like this build on that narrative and sets out to fix a problem that isn't there.
Great Video ! Equality for every Gender and Race, without Prejudice and Racial Profiling! I support his cause and effort 100 percent! Good luck and God Bless You!
I fully endorse your work and would encourage you to continue. I am an avid cyclist from the BME community living and riding in and round Leeds, Yorkshire. Recently I have observed some progress with a few people from BME riding their bikes.There is also a big perception problem on cycling among people of colour. Most of them perceive it a sign or a symbol of hardship rather than choice or preference. So for many people in the BME community they are conditioned to think of getting themselves a car as this would show they are making progress in life. As a result many people of colour feel discouraged to cycle and this is a major factor in the uptake of cycling among the BME population.Perception are gradually changing in favour of cycling but its going to take some time before we see a real presence /representation of the BME among the cycling community. I hope with platforms like yours this misperceptions will be conquered. Come up to Leeds and we can go for a long ride in the dales am pretty familiar with the area now.
I cycle over 1000 miles a month, I'm black, was born in England (live in Huddersfield) over 50 years ago but if I want to go on a group ride I go to Thailand! It is all about being comfortable and the Thais don't seem to discriminate as much. In England I just ride by myself.
In the United States we don't have a "Black Cyclist Network", we have Major Taylor Cycling Clubs (MTCC) which serve the same purpose. We have about 50 MTCC's across the country for the exact reasons Mani articulates. This is a great thing. Be encouraged Mani and BCN and thanks Francis for the exposure.

This is very interesting! I once rode a 10 speed bike from Tyler, Texas to Houston, Texas back 1978
