| New cycle lanes are making it difficult for wheelchair users to hail taxis in London, according to campaigners. Pop-up cycle lanes have been introduced across London as part of a £5bn package to encourage greener modes of transport, but the lanes mean taxis are often unable to pull up to the pavement.
