I appreciate your efforts on this project Mr. TB. The expressways are the easiest way to get in and out of the city and it is ludicrous that bikes are not allowed on them. I would still would like to know what happened to Euphonius as he got into Shanghai from Beijing, that story still isn't finished.

I see bikes on the expressways around Shanghai every once in a while, and I have on occasion made use of them myself. That being said, I would not recommend them. Even the Chinese drivers on their Harleys and BMWs avoid them. The car drivers just don't know what to make of you. Being tailgated by a dork in a Hyundai is not an unfamiliar experience for me, but at expressway speeds it can get a little nerve wracking.
