Right now, especially. It's the start of university and school years and as usual the cops come out in force for a week or two to stand on street corners all across the country and set upon errant cyclists. Kyoto isn't so bad but I believe they're pretty hot on fixed gear violations in Tokyo.
A friend of mine lives in Tokyo and he was fined 50,000 yen (about £400) for not running a rear brake. Insane.
