Guy in a blue jacket and courier bag getting very shouty at a taxi doing a U-turn (turning to go eastbound). His silver bike was on the floor on the driver side so I assume he'd been knocked off. He didn't seem injured from my bird's eye view. Saw him taking photos with his camera and then the taxi squeezed around him and headed off eastbound. He rode off in the same direction but didn't seem to be giving chase.
Another cyclist then had a shouting match with the driver of a westbound taxi which had been unable to move because of the U-turning taxi being parked across the road at 90 degrees to the flow of traffic. Neither driver nor rider seemed very happy but I don't think there had been any contact, just a war of words.
I assume the taxi had been beeping for the damn cyclists to not cause so much of a fuss and get out of his way but I dunno.
