Barry,

my advice:
After a year you start feeling really safe on the bike and like to open the throttle a bit more (... oooh I know this very well ... ended up in the dirt several times; luckily without serious injury). But especially now you should be more careful. There are still a lot of situations you have never faced. Now a safety training for bikers would be the right thing to do. Can this be found in China?
I heart about an Austrian guy who did these training for the Beijing Bike police. If available ... i am in to go through it.
