Two-wheeler usage in Japan
Two-wheelers are a common sight and widely used in Japan.〔http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2210.html〕 Of these, bicycles and scooters are the most common.
==Bicycles==
Bicycles have long been a major staple of Japanese transport (as well as walking), and train stations often accommodate them, a major popularization boom however occurred following the 1970s oil crises and has not abated.〔 Bicycle sheds dominate bicycle storage mechanisms in Japan, most often found at train stations, however they are giving way to other solutions such as bicycle sharing systems and bicycle trees. In spite of bicycle sheds, there long has existed the problem of insufficient bicycle parking, and bicycles can be found parked haphazardly at the more urban train stations, inviting fines and mishaps, though this trend is also in decline. Unlike in North America, bicycles are NOT allowed on buses nor have bicycle carriers. Vandalism to locked bicycles for parts is quite uncommon, there is virtually no black market in bicycle parts due to strong policing and general public disregard for stolen items.
There are over 80 million bicycles in Japan.〔http://www.velomondial.net/velomondiall2000/PDF/KOIKE.PDF〕 Some 17 percent of trips to work home and school are made by bicycle.〔 Due to high availability of other transport modes, longer distance serious bicycling is less common than in the United States, speeds are slow and recreational and people generally do not wear gear or helmets, it serves primarily as a last mile solution〔http://top10hell.com/top-10-countries-with-most-bicycles-per-capita/#sthash.mXqaFsuf.dpuf〕 and/or economical or hour independent alternative to extensive railway-feeder bus or municipal bus service.
