The Japanese love bicycles. Some Japanese love small-wheeled bicycles. There is only one advantage of the latter, in my eyes. You can fold them up and take them on the train with you. I've seen this twice.
Disadvantages I found out this morning, when I rode one for the first time. Firstly, put me a small wheeled bike and I look like I belong in the clown act of the Ringling Brothers Circus. Secondly, because those wheels are really small, you have to pedal really fast to go anywhere. I rode this bike from my house down to Dave's house, a six minute ride on a normal bike. It took me fifteen on Bozo's transportation. I ran back home in nine.
And so, in conclusion, the students I see riding these things around are either idiots, or they're trying to get more exersize. I vote the former.
