I heard from Japanese friends that the no sidewalk law has been around for years, but as you might have noticed, everyone rides on the sidewalk, even the fuzz.

As far as brakeless is concerned, I see so many people riding brakeless that I feel lame riding with brakes.

As others (everyone) has said, there aren't any problems with the police. As far as 2 brakes are concerned, not sure about that. Unless Fuji are selling bikes illegally to people. They have a track style bike with a single clamp on front brake. I assumed they provide it for legal reasons. But if the law says 2, then surely they must get in trouble? Or is it like those viles that claim they are for aromatherapy, but are actually MDMA ( it seems strange that they also keep it refrigerated and the shop closes at 4am but the police never bust them! Ha ha, loopholes in the law)

One day I will try brakeless i think. But my Langster, whilst a nice ride doesn't quite have the style.
Maybe when I buy a nice little Nagasawa. I am starting to like those.
