Has our mayor been quick off the mark to instruct the suppliers of his bicycles about the new livery to replace that of Barclays Bank, or is this just the result of some long planned celebration of the Tour de France visiting London?
A quick investigation reveals that something called the 'Grand Départ of the 2014 Tour de France' will start somewhere up north and finish in London, taking in Cambridge on the way. Depending where you look, the first three stages of the Tour are, contrary to what it says on the tin, taking place in England, or, alternatively, the Grand Départ is some kind of marketing wheeze stuck on the front of the Tour proper. Not interested enough to run the difference to ground.
But some of the web sites involved are quite flashy. See, for example, http://letour.yorkshire.com/.
