I think most organizers of bike rides have little to no interest in working for diversity and their insistence on helmet wear guarantees that they will only get the right kind of cyclists for their events. Any jabber about insurance companies require it when not required by law is so much hooey. How representative of the Chicago population is this Lake Shore Drive Event?
