The lady on the bike was terrified, she actually asked "Was it my fault?" we explained that she had done nothing wrong. We had got the details of the cab and emailed her our contact details along with the taxi details. She was really shaken up.
I had something similar happen to me on the Embankment yesterday on my way to Chelsea Bridge. I had to try and calm down and lashed out at anything that came my way afterwards. Luckily I bumped into a colleague of mine further on and we rode together which help me chill out.
@Khornight, yes people don't realise how dangerous and scary they can be. On the Brighton Ladies ride on Saturday there was a van and a trailer with a horse. He kept overtaking us with very little space and pulled in to avoid incoming traffic. He scared a few of us. But the funny thing is that my colleague I bumped into was also riding to Brighton and was at about the same spot and told me how she almost came off her bike. She caught up with the driver and told him what happened. He genuinely didn't realise and said that his wife had mentioned that he was getting too close to cyclists.
