As my fellow commuters can't be trusted to follow simple rules, I can't for one second believe that they can be trusted to behave 'responsibly', should they be left to their own devices.
It's not only cyclists who use the foot tunnel, there are pedestrians, tourists, school children, mothers with prams - the full spectrum of human existence. The foot tunnel is narrow, so for comfort and safety, cycling down there is not a good idea.
What I see, every day, is inexcusably selfish behavior, by a large number of people, who cycle aggressively through the tunnel. It's currently prohibited, so responsible people should respect that prohibition, and I don't think there are any valid arguments for permitting riding through the tunnel (unless, of course, you are a cunt).
