Sorry if this is at a tangent as it’s not about non-white participation, but you may find it helpful to refer to congruent experiences: Anne Oakley’s (she’s a prof of sociology) account of being a woman cyclist in London and the ‘double marginality’ she experiences everyday. Read ‘On the problem of women and bicycles’ (prob only first half, second half is about the British Library) in Oakley, A (2002) Gender on Planet Earth, Cambridge: Polity Press.

 

I get my final year feminist geography students to read it for a discussion of social barriers to mobility– they hate it, so it must be good!

 

Good luck with it

Hello
I'm doing a paper to present to fellow students on an introductory anthropology course I'm following on 'Why do non-white people cycle less in London?'. Though I'm really interested in cycling itself I need to use it as a case study for wider discussion on cultural factors in technology (or travel) choice. It will be hard enough to fit everything I have to say into the word length and presentation time limit but it would be good to refer to some appropriate theoretical frameworks. If anyone can make any suggestions or send anything I'd appreciate it.

Cheers
