You don't really want to be cycling round Mosley but within 5m are gorgeous countryside which is perfect.
Mosley is a built up area, plenty of traffic etc but up the road past kings Heath and your into great cycling territory.Living MY dream.0 -

South Birmingham has some absolutely fantastic riding on its doorstep, with a variety of terrain to choose from; miles of fast flat lanes, rolling terrain out into the Cotswolds, and lots of hills up through Clent and out to the Wyre Forest.
www.beaconrcc.org.uk is a friendly and very active local club.
There's nothing any more or less dangerous about Moseley than anywhere else - its a bustling suburb with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Not a bad place to be at all 8)Look out kid, they keep it all hid0 -
Take a look at the route for the Mad March Hare, which heads south from Wythall, which is about 5 miles south of Moseley. We have friends in Solihull and I did the ride this year.
Very pleasant sportive it was too, with lovely rolling countryside roads, which were relatively quiet, and plenty of other riders around that area from what I saw.Little boy to Obama: "My Dad says that you read all our emails"

I used to live in Moseley for about 3 years when I worked in Birmingham, great little village, really nice place and couldn't recommend it more to someone moving to Brum.
In terms of accomodation, if you're talking rental, flats etc, there's a good market for it in Moseley, you can get a studio flat for about £350, 1-bed flat for £400-550, 2-beds from £550 and so on. Looking at areas of Moseley, I wouldn't go further west than Russell Rd/Cannon Hill Park, further south than the rail line crossing the A435 and you're getting into Kings Heath which is nice enough area - worth looking at, bit cheaper. I wouldn't go further east than Yardley Wood Rd as you're getting into Sparkhill territory there (a bit stabby), however wake green (below sparkhill) is also nice enough. And in the north, It starts to get rougher north of Edgebaston Rd - where Cromer Rd meets the A435 in Balsall Heath. Hope that helps!
For riding, as others have said, you need to get out south towards and beyond the Birmingham box. You'll hit nice country lanes and minor roads south after Maypole (3miles from Moseley) and a bit (little bit) of climbing around Lickey.Canyon Roadlite
