Popularity of motorcycles in Germany in the 20s and 30s

Hello, I found some old statistics about the number of motorcycles in the world in the 20s and 30s and I was surprised by the huge number of bikes in Germany.
Does anybody know why bikes were so popular in Europe at that time?

I hope this link will show properly
