Bicycling from Prater to Danube Island

It looks like Velapold Vienna rents bicycles in Prater Park. I would like to rent a bicycle in Prater park and ride it across the bridge to Danube Island. Is that possible? Do the two main bridges that I see on my google map accommodate bicycles? Would it be safe? It's hard to tell these things on a google map.

Vienna has excellent and safe bike paths throughout the city. Maybe have a look at this post that I made recently about bike riding in Vienna - https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/austria/biking-in-vienna-tips-from-a-local

I see that Velapold isn't actually in the Prater Park but in a neighborhood near the Prater. If your intention is to bike along the Donauinsel, then I suggest renting from this place - https://www.fahrradverleih.at/ - which is located directly next to the U1 subway stop of Donauinsel (Danube Island). Alternatively, you could consider using NextBike, which I explain in the post above.

If you use Google Maps, you can easily see bicycle directions by clicking on the bike icon, but I like to use Bike Citizen (again, explained in my post above) for directions.
