London Bike Show pictorial

The debut London Bike Show opened this week at ExCeL in East London, with an exhibitor line-up including the likes of Madison, Brompton, Chicken Cyclekit, British Cycling and Actsmart among others.

The show organiser has already confirmed that event will return in 2012.

Madison was also showcasing another limited bike, this time a collaboration between Genesis and All City Creative.
