This alone is enough to boost the excitement of any rider, but add to that greeting Jimmer,’s hyperactive art editor, in the car park, when he’s buzzing to ride, and the hype is off the charts. It’s a good sign that the day is going to be a great one. Plus, staff writer Will has been handed his new long-term bike this morning,
