It's safe to ride around but of course not on the main road.

Ride it on the sidewalk as most people do.

then you will know for yourself DO NOT ATTEMPT DOHA ROADS ON A BICYCLE unless you have a death wish. Yes, some people do travel on bicycles, but notice they are usually low income people who cannot afford any other transportion.

We usually find a seperate lane for the bicycles and pedestrians. But usually you find Crusiers, cruising around in these lanes.

So better go for Cruiser instead of Bicycle....

there are no separate lanes but people do go around in bicycles and its quite safe...The only thing is the hot weather now ,if you can bear it.
