Why are taxpayers funding a cycling charity for “Muslim and ethnically diverse women”?

Hobbies and socials are increasingly being turned into registered charities

Last week, Will Norman, London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, was photographed trying “the excellent new cycle lanes on Lambeth Bridge”.

He was joined by two cycling groups, the London Cycling Campaign and Cycle Sisters UK. In this piece I am going to delve into the latter as an example of how ridiculous identity politics has become, so much so that there are now exercise charities only open to minorities.

Case in point: Cycle Sisters describes itself as “award-winning charity which creates accessible and empowering spaces for Muslim and ethnically diverse women to cycle and become more healthy, confident and connected.”
