Is it ok to kick Greenwich foot tunnel cyclists off their bikes? It's not just the utter disregard for other users, particularly children, it's the laziness - they spend 5 minutes waiting for a lift, belt through the tunnel at warp speed, then spend 5 minutes waiting for a lift.
I can carry my bike down the stairs, jog along the tunnel with it and carry it up the far stairs and still be across before them, pausing on the stairs if anyone needs to pass and generally not being a twat. If they're really in such a hurry, they should make up time getting some exercise carrying their bikes.
Now they've taken the railings out of the chicane at the IoD end, they barely need to slow at all, and they're being even more dangerous.
