as a former professional cyclist i couldn't agree more about the need to get novice riders off fixies without brakes and force them to start riding within their limits and follow rules, but at the same time i find it absolutely unacceptable that tokyo has no bike lanes and cannot seem to agree on where cyclist should ride. while i may feel comfortable riding in traffic, i certainly would not like to see the average citizen forced to ride in traffic so exposed and unprotected. i would love to see a crackdown on unsafe driving by motorists and bus drivers in particular as well.
