You can just make out the person cycling as the taxi driver comes right up to them at several points along this road. The driver seems to be right against their back wheel.

I ride this road regularly and know that I'm faster than cars because I can take the speed bumps better. This driver is gaining nothing by being right behind the person cycling so why are they doing it?

And at the end there taxi driver enters the contraflow cyclelane. This is because there really isn't enough space for the parking bays to the left.
