>>1556697>the only reason there aren't a lot of black cyclists is because of povertyDo you mean pro cyclists? Because I see plenty on bikes for commuting and having fun with what you could call "bmx and urban MTB freeriding" aka doing wheelies and manuals while they ride down the street and hopping curbs and shit. I always see bikes parked outside corner shops and other things. Most professional cycling is of interest to eurotrash, while most americans into it are freds and wealthier. 13% of the US population multiplied by whatever tiny percentage of the population is interested in bike racing, multiplied by however many americans are in the TDF, Giro d'Italia, etc = some miniscule number.
>Get black kids on bikes and the bike industry will start making some $$$They are on bikes. Just not the kind of bikes freds and screeching anti-car hippies want them to be on, because BMX and MTB crosses over aesthetically more with motorcycles and riced cars.
This anon is correct:
>>1556730Urban biking is vastly different from "bike industry" biking. And it is hilarious seeing all this handwringing over it.
