I had this happen to me at a set of lights, Group of cyclists went through and some didn't make it. I was first in the queue and a cyclist fell on to my car whilst trying to track stand the lights turned green. I moved my car out of the way and went round the corner to see if the was ok. Was given a load of grief after offering to take him and his bike home or to hospital. Walked back to my car to discover that my bonnet and front wing needed fixing, this leaves me out of pocket.
I guess what I am trying to say is that if you touch sommebody's car you should do the right thing and say sorry or if you cause damage you should pay for it. You would expect this if it was them who damaged your bike.
The cab driver in your case was a cunt, but any cyclist who just rides of and doesn't offer an appology or to fix the damage would also be a cunt IMO.
