: My reasons aren't that different from other cyclists': it a cheaper and often quicker alternative to both driving and public transportation, according to NOW Magazine. There is, however, at least one thing that sets me apart from most cyclists: I am Black. Like a fast-growing number of Torontonians, I ride a bike. Although hard numbers on cycling diversity, or the lack thereof, are hard to come by, its popularity remains uneven across ethno-racial lines. Why are so few Blacks cycling A good start to answering that question is to ask a different one: why do people cycle, or rather, why are more people cycling If recent surveys are accurate, part of the answer has to do with better infrastructure: more bike lanes, more bike parking and the like. Or put another way, cycling still seems a white thing.
