Young Powerful Women in Cycling: Advancing Anti-Racism in Cycling

Ask somebody on a UK high street to think of a Black-British female professional cyclist for the front cover of a cycling magazine, and if you were lucky, perhaps you’d get “Shanaze Reade.” Ask that same person to think of another Black-British female professional cyclist, and you’d really be pushing your luck. Still, maybe “Kadeena Cox” the Paralympian cycling athlete would come to mind. Ask for the name of a third Black-British female professional cyclist, and they would probably say something like “Look. Sorry. I’m in hurry. I really don’t know. Pass! That’s a question for Mastermind.”
