bribewashing 

brainwashing through money, in hopes of causing people to forget past sins.

China must have done a lot of bribewashing in order to get the Olympics after what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989, along with their Human Rights abuses.

Bikewashing 

When businesses, organisation, councils or politicians pretend to be supportive of or encouraging cycling when in fact they are not.

Councils give the impression that they are producing improvements to cycling without actually producing improvements to cycling.

Or a politician is pictured on a bike or has a profile picture of them on a bike, and they describe themselves as a 'keen cyclist' when everyone knows they are just there for a photo opportunity and don't want to improve cycling safety.

See also 'Greenwashing' but for bikes and cycling

Everyone knows that they talk a good talk when it comes to cycling, but in reality they don't care and don't want to make any improvements. It's all just 'Bikewashing' to make them look good.

tribewashing 

VERB:

Making someone believe that fitness, the gym, etc. are the answer to all of life's problems.

The act of creating a perceived gang or tribe and using rhetoric to brainwash it's members into subscribing to or even promoting your product or service. This use of rhetoric to make your product or service the key to all happiness and success is common practice in the fitness industry (most notably crossfit), with many gyms and fitness establishments even incorporating said rhetoric into their branding and marketing, making them indispensable and vital to their customers' ability to function by taking away all sense of individuality and replacing it with a mob mentality of belonging and strength in numbers. In short, brainwashing people and making fitness and exercise into a cult in order to profit from it.

Coined by marketing containing words and phrases such as "join our gang", "come and be a part of the family", "this is where you belong", "your second home", etc.

Also: tribewashed

"I was at the gym all the time, I totally thought it was the answer to all my problems. They were tribewashing me for months."

"I keep seeing all these insta posts trying to tribewash me into thinking I need that shit to be a better person..."
