@Shinigami:
Same procedure as every year. Each spring they start massive cyclist controls. Usually about a dozen "traps" are set up at changing locations in the city. Preferable at traffic lights that are really useless - where nobody would even think about stopping when red because nobody crosses the entire day. Bike controls are usually set up at places with small bike paths along large roads. To minimize the risk to get caught in that kind of trap, simply don't use bike paths. It's more dangerous than riding on the regular road anyway.
But the time of massive bike controls is already over. They did that at the beginning of April and in the easter holiday weeks - and easter holidays end with this weekend.
@hippy:
The legal situation is not really accurately described on that web page. There are better ones.
