Light skinned Asians might appear white to you at a distance.

Bicycles are not cheap to buy and maintain. In poorer areas there are few LBSs to do the work.

In 'minority' neighborhoods the police sometimes enforce rules more strictly so they can run warrants and such. That would discourage many from riding bicycles.
I don't follow you on your last comment. How does law enforcement discourage bicycle riding in minority neighborhoods?

In our city, anyway, the police seem pretty pro-bicycle. I don't think they hassle minorities on bicycles.

Is that what you are saying; that police hassle minority bicyclists, so that the minorities prefer to walk (or maybe drive)?
