Starting off from the lights at trafalgar square this morning a cab lightly hit my rear wheel and I hit the deck...

There were a couple of cyclist beside me - one helped me up and another one said "I saw him hit your back wheel"...however they both rode off to work and I was too discombobulated to ask for their details.

The driver of the taxi swears blind he didn't hit me - "it must have been one of the bikes" - if you saw this, or were one of the cyclists who helped me up, I'd be very grateful if you could contact me.

Is it possible you'll see those same cyclists again?

Do you have contact details. Report incident to police - the taxi driver isn't gonna feel much of a bump, but it's enough of a shove to knock you off.

So long as you are OK, and the bike. If there is damage then worry about it.

I only got his card - I had to threaten to call the police to get that...I'm a little bruised but seem fine - front derailleur got pranged though - took it to the bike shop - will see what the diagnosis is...
