“Is this about the Shell sponsorship?” British Cycling asks if deal with oil and gas giant was behind cyclist’s decision to cancel membership Meanwhile, is the peloton set for more greenwashing? Spanish firm Repsol linked to Movistar sponsorship cycling

Turns out British Cycling wasn’t the only organisation getting grief for its environmental position yesterday…

Of course, getting rid of cars is a massive challenge and needs to be solved primarily on a societal level. But all of us are still obligated to do what we can locally, and personally. In my family’s case, we’ve chosen to live a car-free life for the past 24 years. We’ve made deliberate choices to achieve this, in terms of where we live, work and go to school…

Living alongside the A36 as my family does, no one would like to see car traffic reduced more than we would. The frequently poor air quality we suffer here, and that all of Bath suffers from regularly, has had real health impacts. My oldest child uses an inhaler. I’ll never forget the night I had to rush him to the RUH with breathing difficulties. But low-traffic neighbourhoods are not the answer.

'Greenwashing, pure and simple' - fury as Shell UK sponsors British Cycling'Greenwashing, pure and simple' - fury as Shell UK sponsors British Cycling Members express shock at announcement of partnership, with many saying they will cancel their membership cycling I wonder if motorists will start to boycott Shell,when they realise that the money they spend to fill up their tank of fuel will be going towards the sponsorship of British Cycling Motorists hate cyclists so much and yet their money is helping fund a Cycling Organisation 😂😂 'Cycling should have nothing to do with the fossil fuel industry...' - they chorused while riding around on overpriced Carbon Fibre bikes wearing a wardrobe full of overpriced spandex.
