Current Carmel resident and can confirm that it’s a pretty good option. There is a well maintained rail trail (the Monon) that bisects the city and lots of other paths that connect to it. You can get to most of the places in the city you’d want to go on the existing trails. And you can even get all the way to downtown Indianapolis on the trail.
