A few things to note.
1) Setting the visit in the constructor is a bad idea, since page
instances are pooled.
2) Since pages are pooled, various bits of information needed for a page
at rendering time are not available at creation time.
In this case, the IRequestCycle is null.
You'll want to wait to grab the visit until you're actually rendering
(or rewinding) something. This will ensure that you grab the /correct/
visit each time.
