that I feel safer walking around Bali than I do in my own hometown, sorry I think that statement is really ridiculous and comes from an idealised viewpoint. I have travelled to Bali by myself a few times and have shopped in the main shopping areas at night with no worries. The later it gets the more care I would take, I can remember walking from Legian to Kuta after a few drinks at the Indonational at about 11.00 at night and the vibe felt different, seedier almost. So I would say late at night, no it is not that safe and definitely take precautions and get a cab but if is quite early on and there are lots of people about then you should be fine.
