The problem is that, in Shanghai anyways, the "journey" begins at the other end of the "expressway". Yes, boring as hell, but they they get you far more efficiently to "the good riding".

Were you able to talk up the Traffic Department chief about the diversification of motorcyclists in a diversified society, that some of us ride for recreation and sport and pleasure rather than merely as a cheap alternative to a car?

cheers!
