At Warwick Lanterne Rouge we commit to making our cycling club a more diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment for all our members. We will actively promote equality and diversity in cycling and will not tolerate discrimination of any kind.

​

The club will actively seek opportunities to increase diversity within our club membership. We are all cyclists, but let’s not pretend: this is a sport currently very much dominated by white males; we need to encourage greater inclusion for women and people from black and minority ethnic (BAME*) backgrounds.

​

Cycling is a wonderful way to improve one’s mental health, particularly in the current environment, and we can all benefit from the kindness and support within our community.

​

*BAME is a term that refers to those who are black, Asian and minority ethnic, in other words, those who are non-white. It is a helpful term to a degree and especially in spaces such as cycling that are still overwhelmingly white, but it is not ideal in that it can generalise a range of experiences that in reality can be very different. In order for us to move forward and progress, BAME is a term that serves a purpose even though it is by no means perfect. The important point is that we continue to make progress to foster a more diverse and inclusive sport.
