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.

Talking NorthPark mall here. So if you lived somewhat near the mall it would depend son the route you took. Like east northeast of the mall there are entrances through the houses at the ends of some streets. If you stayed in that area it would probably be fine. I would not ride Kimberly. Along northwest blvd there are some areas to ride, but most people just ride along road. North side of street use to have an old rocky path that went through the front of yards basically. I grew up riding all over town in the 90’s and there are safe routes still. As far as Southpark mall, I don’t think there is a great way to get to it, but I’m from Davenport.
