This Jon Snow is one of Britain's best-known news anchors - and not the character from Game of Thrones as he has had to explain in recent years, and did once more for my benefit. As well as his extensive experience reporting from the field, interviewing Presidents, Prime Ministers and despots around the world, Jon also loves to cycle. I met him on a Monday morning at his North London home, for the short commute to the Channel 4 newsroom at the headquarters of news organisation ITN. The same building where I began my own journalistic career.
