Do you want to do that? I gave up cycling in Malta, it is like playing with something that is gonna explode sooner or later.
Cycling and Malta are two words that cannot stay in the same sentence

. There is one young Maltese guy who has mapped dozens of routes and yes, it is totally possible to do St Paul's to Sliema, but the bike lane does a couple odd things along the way (like temporarily disappears).
Kudos to you! I'm seeing more and more cyclists around Sliema where I live and I'm very happy about it. I'm almost ready to get back in the saddle after two years of thinking it's not such a great idea.
Our numbers are increasing... Yay!!

I'd go for it, too. The bike lane along the coast road itself looks alright, the way I see it the bigger problems might be St Paul's and St Julian's / Sliema. Be careful on the way back to St Paul's, though - in Salina the bike lane "joins" the coast road... I'd check if there's a possibility to cycle via Salinas... And the roundabout at Salinas might be a bit tricky, too...
