@GazzaMaxx:
No, not really "harsh". It's just that spring time control issue. And in some parts of the city the "hipster problem" - people on (fixed wheel) bikes who don't have any cycling practice at all. That's probably the reason why Berlin police has intensivated controls especially of fixie riders. In the last years, there were several nasty accidents with fixed wheel cyclists involved - and the unability of the riders to handle their bikes probably was partly reason that those accidents happened.
