Cycling

In Asia, it is the most popular and used transport way (not ATVs). As everyone knows, it is very useful and that respects the environment. There only in Asia that we can see a lot of people that use their bicycle. In China, for example, the main transport way is the bicycle, streets are filled with it. But this is because; each Chinese people do not have enough money to buy a car. And the transport network is not developed everywhere in China, so the main transport way is China.

In Japan, the use of bicycles is probably not the same reason as in China. That is to say, in Japan, there is also a lot of people that use bicycles for working, for walking and so on. They use bicycles because of the lack of place for parking cars because Japan territory is not big, there is no place; and moreover, 67% of Japanese territory is forests, so there are not many place to live (source: www.wikipedia.fr). And the population density in Japan is 340/km² (872.8/sq mi); but only a small part of the Japanese territory is lived, so the population density is more important than these figures. It is one of the reasons why Japanese people use bicycles. Japanese people develop and invest a lot for cars and bicycles parking but there are no a lot of places. And sometimes, we can see that there is a lot when we see a place where there are bicycles park there.

Japanese people do not put lock in order to prevent theft, this is surprising. But, if someone steals a bicycle and this person is controlled by polices, this person will have problems; because in Japan, there is a system of yellow label on bicycles for indicating the owner.
