With bicycles made for it's own consumption as well as bicycles made for export around the world, China by far manufactures the most bicycles.Hands down, China. Department store bicycles, once made in the U.S., are now made better and cheaper in China. Even Taiwanese companies, once known to make good quality, cheap, high end bicycles in the 80's, have moved their factories over to China because the labor is so much cheaper there. Add to this the fact China's large population, most of them with bicycles as their only mode of transportation, and you have an incredible number of bicycles!China
Older Atala bicycles were made in Italy, but the new ones (like most new bicycles) are made primarily in China and assembled in Italy, I believe.
China is called the kingdom of the bicycles. Nearly every Chinese family has at least one bicycle, in some cities each family member has one. China has 1.3 billion people, so it's about 0.8billion bicycles in China. No exaggeratin, I'm a Chinese.
Well China's main transportation is by train but assuming the population it would probably be bike
