Cycling is Sexist and Racist

[simon12]

The latest major issue in London that needs millions poured into it according to Sadiq Khan's appointed Cycling chief Will Norman who's considering setting diversity targets for cyclists.

"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"

"The mayor’s office has unveiled a number of projects it says will begin to address a lack of diversity, including cycle training courses, grants for community groups who do not typically cycle"

"Mr Khan has promised an average of £169m annually for cycling schemes over the next five years,"

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, the city’s walking and cycling commissioner has said.
Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups account for about 15 per cent of the city’s cycle trips – around two-thirds less than Transportfor London estimates it could be.

If people don't want to cycle why do they need to be encouraged to do so?

Mr Khan has promised an average of £169m annually for cycling schemes over the next five years, tripling the length of the Cycle Superhighway network, and recently announced six new cycle routes.

I bet non cycling Londoners think the money should be spent elsewhere. (I certainly would if i lived there)

I know that I no longer live in London, but if I offer not to cycle, will that help the targets?

My note book has too many white pages.. something needs to be done about that

Exactly what I thought. I know - how about an initiative to enable the white working class to cruise around the capital in BMWs with blacked-out windows? Beats cycling any day.

£169m annually for the next 5 years????

Clearly white men are dinosaurs and deserve to be wiped out. I'm trying to oblige by cycling on main roads FFS mr Khan , I would say that statement shows the NON white, non male 'community' have a bit more sense than to cycle in london. - Just check out cycling in a country where it's safer and you'll see a lot more diversity.

Health & environmental benefits are a couple of decent reasons.

I may have missed something but this its not about health and environmental benefits its just another article about how unfairly women and minority groups are treat.

"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"

As i said above if they do not want to cycle why does Mr Khan think spending £169m annually is going to change their minds?

Ethnic minorities prefer to cruise in inexplicably expensive cars, hence why white women don't want to cycle.

And 169 mils should solve that?!

It's to help them commute to university

It's a little known fact that supreme racist and Fuhrer Adolf Hitler had drawn up plans for a two wheeled SS unit. The bicycles were to be heavily armoured with half track trailer option and came in black. The idea was canned as the leather trench coats worn by the officers constantly got tangled in the chain mechanism.

Best not to set them off when going uphill.
