Today, I'm feeling a bit bad about myself. I'm new to cycling, and to be quite honest, I was going too recklessly and almost got myself hit by a car or two. I could absolutely learn how to check my turns better.

What are your favorite tips for learning how to cycle safely in the city?

Use a helmet mirror and watch the traffic behind you. When you first see a car wayy back, swerve over to the middle of your lane. If they don't change to the passing lane as they get closer, swerve off towards the shoulder. Be prepared to dip off the road if they're not getting over.
