Idle thoughts.... You could discuss this with the various policemen you
pass on your route, and ask them if they consider you to be a danger on
the road (although maybe they'll try not to get involved with this). 

There used to be a Gaikokujin Komarigoto Sodanshitsu run by the police,
at 03-3503-8484 (don't know if it's still there, and I'm reluctant to
ring just to check), so you could discuss it with them.

Tell the bureaucrat that you don't have regular bikes, so bill him for
two....
