1) In reading the threads, most of the rides appear to be rather short (which I guess makes sense). Are there any good long rides?

Never tried it

2) Is cycling the interior (of China) on the weekends a realistic option?

Erm... Again, never tried it. But cycling in China is still the most common form of transportation. Some cyclist have electric bikes, don't get mixed up; they are not motor cycles.

3) How safe is cycling (both from traffic concerns and crime)? Are drivers accomodating of cyclists? Is this different in HK versus Mainland China?

Not sure about Crime, but for Traffic, there is a difference. Drivers on the mainland have a tendency to do strange things unexpectedly, such as a U-Turn in the middle of the freeway, some stop for a rest in the middle, change lanes without warning. Where as in Hong Kong, the traffic rules are almost the same as for England.
