    Hi guys, many thanks for all the insights.

    Quick question - assuming one has 京A or 京B plates - are they valid throughout the entire China?
    E.g. for travel to Chengdu, Xi'an, Yúnnán, other provinces, or even abroad, say, LAo, Vietnam.

    Yes, sure. Some countries you may not get in, or there are special requirements.
    As for PRC, then usually where bikes are allowed you should be able to get in... however TIC (this is Ch!na) the LFZ (logic free zone)... some jurisdictions some may say no, or... whatever.
    Some cities e.g. Shanghai attempt to restrict out of town plated bikes, with some bylaws which prohibit the entry of such bikes and even have fines for any such bike riders... but keep your wits about you, hang back at intersections where there are PSB etc and wait for the lights to turn green and traffic to start moving so you one can keep momentum therefore limiting apprehension...
    Ordinarily on a bike one would wan to be up front at the head of the queue... but if you are in a place you aren't meant to be, and there are PSB lurking round, then better to hang back and blend in with the surrounding traffic IMHO
    YMMV

    Ok, gotcha. Will try to find the list of such cities:) If someone has it at hand - would be great.

    And from what age kids are allowed here to be backseat helmeted passengers? From 12yo?

    Nearly fell off my chair laughing reading the last part.

    TIC mate no problem 1-year-old or your old grandma off 100 years old with or without a crash helmet, all good to go IMO.
    Yes, there are laws about matters like this in China, but just stand outside on the road and look around you.
    But good on you ride safely IMO.
