If I see a person of asian or african descent cycling, for some reason it is a rare occurence while I see people who are white on their bikes all the time. Do you notice this as well in your area? And what do you think is the reason for mostly white people riding bikes? It is something that kind of confuses me.
Depends on the area. When I'm at work I see more African-Americans and when I'm close to home, Hispanic. I f I go ride in Memorial Park (I'm in Houston, Texas BTW) it's white dudes on MTBs and Road bikes.
