Bob, I had similar experiences in Tokyo last summer. Everyone was so nice and respectful to each other. Not the bay area experience I'm familiar with. Due to a lack of bike lanes downtown, many rode on sidewalks. I think they all rode step through because they were constantly putting their feet down. They also rode with their seats very low I assumed for that same reason. Still it made me want to run around Tokyo with an Allen head raising everyone's seat! I thought it would be a great place for a smaller wheeled bike like a Brompton for the manueverability. I never understood the Tokyo Bike minivelo but now I do.
If you get to Tokyo, go to Blue Lug Hadagaya. What a great bike shop! Been meaning to share my photos from there but it's been a rough semester.
