An erj-190 EICAS alerted bleed 1 leak after takeoff so the crew completed the QRH but at cruise altitude unexpected icing conditions were encountered so an emergency was declared and a descent out of icing conditions followed.

Narrative:
Had a bleed 1 leak EICAS. Completed QRH. Proceeded on flight plan route. Encountered icing conditions and requested lower altitude. Center was unable to clear us to a lower altitude. I declared an emergency and descended to flight level 210 to remain clear of icing conditions.having the bleed leak after takeoff caused us to loose our icing protection. Airspace was congested and we were unable to get an ATC clearance to a lower altitude.I was not expecting any icing conditions. We had flown this route prior to our return to the previous airport. No icing reports for the area were effective at time. The only way to avoid what happened would be to fly at a low enough altitude where the temperature would not be low enough for icing to occur.
