Researching Barranquilla

Hi,
I am looking into jobs in Barranquilla and wanted to get some information about the city for athletes. Some of the issues I have questions about are:

1. Safety (I'm female)
2. Is it possible to ride a bike there (other than for commuting)? Safe roads? Not heavily traveled roads outside of the city?
3. Running?
Or maybe I should ask about water sports?  :) Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)? Kayaking?

I've read the people are very nice - please feel free to add to this and tell me more about the culture.

Thank you everyone for your help!

Have a great day!

Thank you!

1. Safety (I'm female)
- its not as bad as every one thinks barranquilla has is areas which are bad to walk alone but its so does every country
2. Is it possible to ride a bike there (other than for commuting)? Safe roads? Not heavily traveled roads outside of the city? - traffic is usually heavy during after work hours la hora pico bikes ? moto ? yes its usually best
3. Running?
Or maybe I should ask about water sports?  :) Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)? Kayaking? water sports not much water area to do so but in santa marta which is 2hrs away you can

Why do you live in such a place?

I cant believe some of these threads..

either the OPs are trolling or extremely , extremely naive...

Do you live in the North or South?

i live in the centre of town.  But i am familiar with all locations here in barranquilla, and santa marta
