Mornings in the 50s is what I love - especially for exercising. You feel cool to start, don't get overly sweaty, and cool down quickly after.

Print out some realistic looking parking tickets and put them on the windshields? Or maybe just write a note asking them to not park there, perhaps threatening to notify authorities? Although the first option would be more fun to watch for their reactions.
A really nice morning for a ride at 58F and low dew point. However, I hit a small rock among some gravel and got a rear flat. I didn't really see it in time and there was a car passing me when I did see it and couldn't really swerve, so, "Bang!"
I had been moving along pretty good prior to that thanks to a light tailwind. After changing the tire I was short on time to get to work so pushed harder than normal (cooler temps helped too). I ended up averaging 17.4mph where I'm normally right at 16 or so.
