They're partly responsible for Japan's amazing transport energy efficiency rates; many commuters ride bikes to their nearest train station. Not only do scooters have the best per-gallon fuel efficiency of any mode of transport yet invented, they also hate Bush.
There's a much better collection of bikes and scooters than mine on the Shobus blog (the most evocative blog about Japan, what a shame it had to stop!). Compiled last summer by Mehdi Hercberg, here are four strips of pictures of tasty two-wheeled transport machines:
