If yes, what are your thoughts about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry and the sport of cycling is dominated by white and eurocentric males. It&#8217;s hard to be a person of colour in addition to being female. The opportunities shrink, you get overlooked, sidelined, or straight up told you don&#8217;t belong here. Anyone in the &#8220;other&#8221; category understands this struggle. I don&#8217;t see it changing anytime soon as long as men continue to stay in charge and gatekeep the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-scaled-570x271.jpg 570w, https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-1536x730.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cheesysupply.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Bijou-2-2048x973.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any riding plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to working at some up coming races this season as a junior race mechanic as well as participate in some time trials and criteriums.
