7:27 AM, Biggs Row, SW15

A middle-aged man cycles along the road. It is dark, and the road is illuminated by streetlights. He is wearing a crash helmet and a fluorescent bib. Despite being on his own, he speaks out loud, intoning over and over: “...a disregard for education...a disregard for education...a disregard for education.” At the end of the road, he turns right, still proclaiming as he disappears around the corner.
