Default Taxi Critical Mass prevents people going about their lawful business.

You see? The very people who complain the most about London Critical
Mass cyclists delaying them use just the same tactics and are a bunch
of hypocrits.

"London taxi drivers brought Westminster to a standstill in a protest
over their ban from Olympic traffic lanes.

More than 200 black cabs arrived in Parliament Square just before
14:00 BST, beeping their horns to tourists' bemusement.

Cab drivers argue they should be able to use the Games Lanes available
only to Olympics officials and athletes.

But Transport for London transport commissioner Peter Hendy condemned
the action.

He said he had "no sympathy" for the "trumped-up" demonstration..."

Taxi drivers are protesting about something that affects their ability
to earn a living, pay their mortgages & feed their families.

Critical mass are ****** scum.

What about cycle couriers and others who depend on cycling for a
living, including as a means for getting to work?

Then they should protest as a group, Critical Mass is no such group,
as you have previously told us.
