Want to know what the most popular vehicle is globally? You’re sort of right if you guessed the Toyota Camry and its variants, but that’s only the most popular car. If your next guess was the Honda Supercub , you’re right again, but only for motorized vehicles. The far and away most popular vehicle ever was the 飛鴿, or Flying Pigeon PA-02 bicycle, manufactured in China. In other words, travel by bike is #1 globally, with motorcycles at #2, and cars at #3.
As an American, this was odd to me, though. For me, a bike was a toy. Children use them for transportation, but adults only use bikes, I thought. But then I spent some time overseas and used a bike for almost everything. The maintenance situation was also very different. Sure, more people knew how to work on bikes, but when everyone rides bikes, businesses tend to follow the money. There were bike shops all over the place in Taiwan. Many of them would let you pull up and use their air compressor for free, which was really a good way to get you in the door for your next paying job. When a cable stretched and my gears weren’t shifting right anymore, one shop fixed it in two minutes and refused to charge me.
