The London Cycling Campaign spends £100k on staff salaries, and apparently runs the entire city. The LTDA spends ten times that on staff, and nobody in power pays it any attention. How is that possible?

Baffled by the number of taxi drivers claiming they can't take people where they need to go, or that they no longer know how the roads work. If they get in my taxi, I'll get them to where they want to be.
