It is definitely worth discussing and I see where you are coming from Will. I looked at the list of candidates and thought 'very white, very middle class, many from the same areas, (Hackney, Islington, Southwark) wonder why that is?' These people all put themselves forward so is there a barrier to people from different backgrounds putting themselves forward (I don't think so) or is this a reflection of the membership makeup overall? If the latter, why does that not reflect the cycling community accurately?
