I'm not having a pop at anybody, just asking valid questions about cycling and it's representation overall...something that the cycling world should constantly be doing. I work for the LCC often and know the good they do. I also teach cycle training in Hackney and play bike polo in Southwark so I'm pretty aware of the diverse population of both. I was simply wondering why the spread of candidates is mainly between those few boroughs? Whether cycling is a more common mode of transport (as in Hackney) or the LCC branch is more active there or whatever other reason...
Certainly, the only reason I ask these questions is because I want to better understand how and why different demographics relate to cycling in general and how they can be encouraged. At the minute, all the one to ones I teach are women and the majority of players that I train in my NE beginners polo sessions are international. I always want to make sure that we are reaching out to everybody.
