British Cycling faces backlash from eco-campaigners after announcing its partnership with Shell
British Cycling announced its new partnership with the oil giant Shell as a result that it is facing a backlash from its members and environmental groups.
British Cycling’s governing body claimed that the partnership would help our organization and sport take important steps towards net zero.
On this partnership, many critics used social media to ask whether it was April Fool’s Day. One respondent said Partnering with a fossil fuel company is an accelerant to your path to net zero. Is this satire?
Greenpeace also condemned the decision of British Cycling to enter a long-term partnership with Shell. Dr. Doug Parr, the director of Greenpeace UK policy, said the idea of Shell helping British Cycling reach net zero is as absurd as beef farmers advising lettuce farmers on how to go vegan.
Doug Parr said after being booted out of museums and other cultural institutions, Big Oil is looking at sports as the next frontier for their brazen greenwash. Moreover, he said their aim had not changed to distract from the inconvenient fact that the fossil fuel industry is making our planet uninhabitable.
Jamie Peters, the energy campaigner of Friends of the Earth, said cycling is the epitome of environmentally friendly travel, and It is deeply disappointing that UK Cycling could think it is appropriate to partner with giant fossil fuel.
Jamie said shell is continuing to invest billions in gas and oil projects while using cynical PR initiatives like this partnership to attempt to greenwash its harmful activities.
Moreover, Jamie said tobacco firms are rightly banned from sports sponsorship due to the damaging health effects, and the same should apply to oil and gas companies which are devastating the health of our planet. Shell should have been told to get on its bike, Jamie said.
Brian Facer, CEO of British Cycling, said we are looking forward to working alongside Shell UK over the rest of this decade to widen access to the sport, support our elite riders and help our organization and sport take important steps toward net zero.

Even when using the most recent firmware, security researchers examined nine widely used WiFi routers and discovered a total of 226 possible vulnerabilities in them.
Millions of people use the tested routers, which are made by Asus, AVM, D-Link, Netgear, Edimax, TP-Link, Synology, and Linksys.
The TP-Link Archer AX6000, which has 32 problems, and the Synology RT-2600ac, which has 30 security flaws, are the two devices with the most vulnerabilities.
The examination process
In partnership with CHIP magazine, researchers at IoT Inspector conducted security tests with a focus on models primarily used by small businesses and residential users.
According to Florian Lukavsky, CTO & Founder at IoT Inspector, “vendors provided them with current models, which were upgraded to the newest firmware version, for Chip’s router review.”
“IoT Inspector automatically examined the firmware versions and searched for more than 5,000 CVEs and other security flaws.”
Although not all defects posed the same risk, the researchers discovered a few widespread issues that impacted the majority of the evaluated models:
The firmware contains an outdated Linux kernel.
stale VPN and multimedia features
over-reliance on BusyBox’s earlier iterations
weak default passwords like “admin” are used
Hardcoded credentials are present in plain text.
Changing the router’s default password when configuring it for the first time is one of the most crucial steps you can take to secure it, according to Jan Wendenburg, CEO of IoT Inspector.
Whether an IoT device is used at home or in a corporate network, changing the password upon first use and turning on automatic updates must be regular procedure, according to Wendenburg.
In addition to manufacturer-introduced vulnerabilities, utilising an IoT device with the adage “plug, play, and forget” poses the greatest risk.
