Every other sport including endurance running and track and field you see a significant proportion.

Yet we have 185+ cyclists every year for the last 100+ years at the tour de France and maybe 1 or 2 ever.

Bicycles cost money? Same reason we don't have many black golfers, tennis players, swimmers, etc

If you have a big package, it's really uncomfortable to ride a bike for a long time

There is one black dude that's been in the TDF the past few years.

Competitive cycling is an expensive thing to get into, and that probably has a lot to do with it
