  • Also I'm not sure that sending bikes to Nigeria is working to make cycling in the UK more diverse.

    At best it's a well-meaning gesture, but it's not really the same as being a diverse and welcoming group of cyclists.

    Cycling is still overwhelmingly white, male and middle class, even in London.

  • Amazing. Highest high-horsing on this thread.
    Omg guys, sending bikes to people who are underprivileged is such virtue signalling.

  • You may be misinterpreting that post somewhat. The argument seems not to be that sending stuff to Nigeria is not a good thing, but that it's not strictly accurate to describe it as increasing cycling diversity within the UK itself. It is, however, beneficial for cycling in Nigeria.
