Nevertheless, bicycles have long been a commonly used mode of transport in Japan. Despite decreasing bicycle ownership per household in Japan, more than every second household possesses a bike. Bicycles are most commonly utilized for shopping errands but also serve as an intermediary form of travel to reach train or subway stations, which constitute the principal mode of transport in metropolitan areas when covering longer distances. In general, all demographic groups in Japan use bicycles, albeit to varying degrees. Men have a slightly higher utilization rate than women, while senior generations also tend to have higher usage.
