On April 25, approximately 1,000 cyclists participated in a protest against the Silvertown tunnel's prohibition of bikes. Organized by Critical Mass, the ride emphasized public frustration over the lack of cycling infrastructure in a newly opened project that cost around £2.2 billion. As cyclists entered the tunnel, they criticized Transport for London's requirement for cyclists to depend on shuttle buses for crossing. Critics argue this approach reflects a neglect of cyclist needs amidst a project primarily serving motor vehicles.
Critical Mass events seek to highlight the number of people who want to cycle but often struggle to do so without risking their safety.
Some people were pissed off at a huge infrastructure project being given loads of their tax money without a bike lane and having to wait for a bicycle bus.
