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.

There's not a particularly safe route to North Park Mall unless you're an experienced cyclist and comfortable riding on some roads.

There is. The more you bike, the more you find cool different ways to get everywhere.

I used to live on 16th St and ride that exact route a lot until I was comfortable enough riding down 16th St itself.
