Community Cycling Center will update seminal racial equity report

A decade after their groundbreaking report on racial equity was published, the Community Cycling Center is once again delving into the topic.

When we first reported on the CCC’s Understanding Barriers to Bicycling project in 2009, the conversation about race in Portland’s cycling scene was all but nonexistent. The group’s former executive director, Alison Graves, boldly went where no Portland bike advocates had gone before — to meeting rooms full of African immigrants and other people of color — to learn what they thought about bicycling and why some of them were so reluctant to do it.
