Having had two regular bicycles stolen over ten years in Tokyo, I would disagree that the problem is non-existent in Japan Two bicycles over ten years compared to how many you would get stolen in the US is "nothing". That's the problem when comparing crime rates in the US and Japan, people in Japan still feel like there's tons of crime. I suggest you spend a couple of years living in a large US city. I hear San Francisco is very nice.
