it could do without the sigh
No.

Everyone's an asshole to some degree and most on the forum are entitled ones too but if someone's on this thread it means they're open to the idea of learning. Hopefully this thread is a place where we can be not afraid of saying stupid things or making mistakes. And also a place where we can take on the load of educating and yes encouraging. I think it's important and valuable to have a place for that and to do that.

I liked that cartoon too (although it could do without the sigh, some people have just been misled as to why BLM is important). ALM and BLM, as statements, just serve different purposes because, while they're both obviously true, only one of them is an urgent call to action.
The cycling population is painfully non representative of the UK population in so many ways and many organisation are working to address that. Given that cycling is still quite a fringe activity it potentially makes that harder, but also provides an opportunity to get things right from the ground up.
