Too much time watching the TDF meant that at around 7 this morning I thought I would corner at full speed, from Aldwych onto the Strand (to head onto Waterloo bridge). Unfortunately this means merging with traffic, so a cab starts merging right as I swing into the left lane. Had to grab a fistful of brake, probably the closest I've come to mangling myself and the bike.
