"Toykobike, Barbican Old Street. Recommended by the cyclists in the studio, this shop is a shrine to design and two-wheeled transport. From the perfectly positioned bikes and accessories to the considered lighting, tokyobike exudes design and that’s just the shop. Originally founded in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Yanaka, the bikes themselves are designed to be light and comfortable underpinned with the brand’s philosophy that “a bike is simply a way to enjoy your city, it’s as much about the journey as the destination”. We’re sure most people who have cycled around Old Street roundabout might have a thing to say about that."
