Miles Baker-Clarke's Ride to a More Diverse and Inclusive Cycling World
Cycling, a sport known for its rigorous physical demands and scenic escapes, faces a persistent challenge far from the physical: diversity and inclusivity.
In a candid conversation on the Ride To Success Podcast, Miles Baker-Clarke, a seasoned marketer within the cycling industry, shares his insights and personal experiences, underscoring the pressing need for change with Pedro Couto Lopes.
"In my cycling club of 300+ people, there is only 1 person of colour"
Despite his deep love for cycling, Baker-Clarke is acutely aware of the sport's diversity problem. "In my club of 300+ people, there is no one of colour, apart from me" he states, highlighting a glaring issue that extends beyond his local cycling club to the cycling industry at large. The lack of representation is not merely a numbers game; it's about what those numbers signify—a barrier to entry and a sense of alienation for underrepresented communities.
