Mugger-free might be tricky, St Pauls or Easton? But the Bath-Bristol cyclepath goes in the right direction.
St Pauls and Easton are no worse than many other areas of Bristol, but they suffer from being stereotyped. I was brought up in that area, and it was just a normal place to live. I'd be much more wary of Knowle West and Hartcliffe!

Quite so. I did once go into the Friendship?! pub in the centre of Hartcliffe, there was a collection for a guy who'd been knifed there recently. I only went in on a quiet Sunday afternoon. (i.e. daylight).
Back on Topic: Bike was still there when I left 8.5 minutes later!
I used to drink in Easton regularly, but the Armoury Tavern looked less well-loved last time I went in about 5 (blige!) years ago.
