I dont like it, either riding or driving. Heres what I do...

Slow down, just because the limit is 30mph doesnt mean you have to ride that fast, that'll give you more time for

Observations, keep them up, you'll need eyes in the back of your head.

Always expect the unexpected

Everybody else is a moron

Learn to get used to reading the traffic flow, watch for gaps as the begin to develop and use that as a get out of jail free card / escape route

Leave a decent gap between you and the vehicle in front / that you are filtering past, space is your friend, again it'll leave you room to deal with the moron / unexpected

The more you ride in cities / heavy traffic the easier it'll get.

I loved riding my 125 in town / through traffic, so much easier to move it around due to lighter weight, high wide bars ( mine was an off road style bike ) was good fun.
