The thingis, how many incidents have been caused by these cyclists? How many injuries? Is there any evidence that people don't use the tunnel because of the menace of the cyclist? If not, perhaps a few people considerately cycling through isn't that much of a big deal and they would be better off letting them do it?

If the people who are responsible for the tunnel, Greenwich and Tower Hamlets Councils decide to permit cycling, then fine.
However, cycling is currently prohibited - and this prohibition is very clearly advertised throughout the tunnel. To ignore this prohibition is quite simply anti-social (ie, you are intentionally flouting or ignoring perfectly reasonable socially-established rules of conduct). If you cycle through the tunnel, you are therefore a cunt. Simple.
(Just to be clear, I am not accusing you, Scrabble, of improper behavior - edited for clarity)
The thing is, I can think of nothing that can be easier to police / control than stopping people cycling through tho Foot Tunnel.
If the combined might of Greenwich and Tower Hamlets Councils can't stop a few self-important middle-aged fat blokes in bright yellow cycling through a tunnel that's about 6' wide, we don't have a chance of stopping the Jihadists!
