“You can’t polish a climate turd, but you can sprinkle it with active travel glitter” Cyclists slam proposals for ‘bike shuttle bus’ through controversial tunnel as a “ham-fisted” attempt at “bikewashing” cycling
“This is 2023. The climate is at a tipping point. We must reduce car use by 27-40 percent according to London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s own carbon plan. So putting bikes on a bus instead of creating bike lanes is bonkers. Please repurpose the Silvertown Tunnel, the sooner the better,” wrote Victoria Rance, a local teacher and the founder of the Stop the Silvertown Tunnel Coalition.
“A city which cannot afford to build a dedicated bridge or tunnel for cycles and pedestrians, but dedicates countless billions to new infrastructure for more cars. Embarrassing,” wrote Nick. “Doesn’t this just have all the same issues as the cable car, which also has a door on one side?” wrote Alex. “Evidence that whilst you can’t polish a climate turd, you can sprinkle it with active travel glitter,” Jon chipped in on the proposals.
