Not entirely sure. Probably like cars in a way, racks take too much space, clutter and eyesore. I notice in some videos, they just stack the bikes like pancakes. The utility bikes they use are cheap in quality and price so they don't care as much about scratches and such, or theft I guess.

I don't completely understand the culture. I do see some nice bikes here and there, but if you notice none of the bikes in the videos are like our. Our culture is mostly bent on racing type bikes even for casual use. There is much to learn indeed about this culture they have there. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be such a bad idea for bikes to be used like shopping carts. Common use, not personal and maybe that would solve a lot of problems with stalls and bike locks, etc. An extension of public utilities supported by the country or state.
