One hand? Dang!

The portion of South Carolina where I
live now, according to the latest
census, has a population that is about
60% black. Yet the local club, which
has nearly 100 members, to my
knowledge has only one black cyclist.
Hardly an accurate representation of
the population at large.

You must be down in the low country.
I'm in Upstate SC. Sadly, the numbers
here aren't much better (should be ever
lower, though).


Close, I'm on the upper edge of the Piedmont, almost exactly between
Columbia and Charlotte.

On organized rides up here, I've seen maybe five (at most) other black
folks, and one was a girl.

Yup, One hand. =A7:-3)
