One of this writer's most viewed posts involved a cyclist, because people have strong opinions on cyclists (and mostly negative ones, FYI). Like vegans and Crossfit enthusiasts, cyclists always let you know they're a cyclist.
And this story combines cycling with the Left's other pet cause -- DEI representation in sports. This writer checked to make sure this wasn't parody, either, and it's not:
Congrats, Cycling Weekly, you've made cyclists even more insufferable.
Here's what Iresha Picot writes:
I’m a new cyclist. I’m also a fat Black woman who just rode her first century ride. That sentence alone is not one you'll read very often. Because when I look around at the cycling world, I rarely see people who look like me.
And yet, I ride.
I, too, am part of the cycling community. Or am I? If we’re not talking about those on the margins, then we’re not truly talking about community. Community isn't just about who shows up, it's about who feels welcome, who’s invited, and who’s made visible. It’s about who has a voice and who’s being centered, not just tolerated.
Whenever you are at a table, whether it's a meeting, an event, or a casual group ride, take a moment. Look around. Then ask yourself: Who’s missing? Whose absence goes unnoticed? Whose stories aren’t being told? Because if we aren't being intentional about inclusion, then we are by default participating in exclusion.
No, we're not. Inclusion and exclusion are not binary.
We have this thing called free association, where we can choose to spend time (or not) with whomever we please. We never hear about exclusion when woke institutions hold racially divisive graduations. Funny, that.
It's that ridiculous.
It's Schrödinger's racism, apparently.
Heh.
Same vibes.
Yeah. Do better Cycling Weekly.
Flipping mad.
That's racist. Or something.
They didn't DEI hard enough, frankly.
