• I run events for kids from 8-9 upwards. Along with other NE London clubs, we are making a serious effort to widen our membership and so do something about cycle sport's diversity problem. So having a PP member enter one of our events wearing their current team strip goes against these aims

    I can't see PPs as a serious club whilst they have the names of various explicit porn programmes on their jerseys.

    How so? You feel that parents will keep kids away from your club if PP are allowed to complete?

    Respectfully, all are entitled to our views but values vary. I’d hope for more reason and less judgment. Excluding people (in the interest of being more inclusive) warrants a pretty good reason.

    Quite possibly yes. We once had a complaint about a club members use of the word porn in a bike porn type context. Not everyone is like us and a big part of running an inclusive club is recognising that.
