The idea that only young white males will know not to be afraid of the term “cycle super-highway” is insulting to the very people you want to be inclusive to.
The problem is that the categories that are used to biking don’t have any issue. Those who don’t bike (not used to, scared by perceived dangers, whatever) will not begin biking because of cycle superhighways.
This problem has been recognized by TFL and the name “cycle superhighways” has been dropped.

Was TFL insulting anyone by doing so?
