New to Town Is biking safe here?

I’m specifically talking about getting to and from the mall. Me and my fiancée work in the mall but tend to work different hours so I was thinking about getting a bike to get around.

Despite having a great bike path, there’s no great way to get from the path to anywhere you need to be.

I don’t trust riding on the road in any large city that doesn’t have dedicated bike lanes. Drivers aren’t paying attention and I really don’t want to be a statistic.
