Zero

It was cold tonight.

Driving home from my fencing class tonight I watched the temperature drop by degrees as I navigated the empty streets towards the ring road. The lights were with me most of the way, until I came to one pedestrian crossing where I had to stop to allow a cyclist to cross. Bizarrely, he was riding a Raleigh Chopper - the most desirable bike to children of a certain generation, but painfully uncomfortable to ride on anything but a nice flat stretch of tarmac. Not the thing for a hill climb on a cold winter's night, I would have thought ...
