Tokyo Bike pops up in London

Pop-up restaurants, pop-up bars, pop-up labyrinths, ... what else might pop-up in London? Tokyo Bikes has already selling points in Australia and in Japan of course and they do want a permanent store in London from 2011 on.

In the meantime they opened a pop-up one near Whitechapel for one month to give the city the opportunity to get accustomed with their products.

I do like the design of their bikes. The colors are nice, the bikes are sober, and the handlebars retro. In a way I can't explain, the bikes look Scandinavian to me. It might be the colors, opposite to the suggesting of blingbling.

Problem with the Tokyo Bikes are the size of the wheels, a little smaller than the ones we are used to. It makes it not that simple to find other inner tubes; I wouldn't even know one shop which sells them...
