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)

I like to think "we should be able to cycle everywhere". The issue comes when you think of the huge variety in riding styles from responsible cyclists who will slow/stop when passing people to utter cunts who ride straight at people dinging a shitty bell. It's not great but I can see why they ban everyone to stop the few.
Clockwise
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?
