GhostalmediaWeird thing is that many American kids no longer do this in the suburbs, and it used to be very very common 30+ years ago.
I imagine that is a combo of helicopter parenting + American roads becoming less safe.
Most kids have no where nearby to go on bikes. Plus cars and trucks are enormously more dangerous to kids these days thanks to being much larger, heavier and quicker to accelerate.
Are you saying that suburban families with kids no longer live next to schools, parks, friends?
Correct. I live in suburbia. I can’t ride a bike to anything useful without going on a multi lane highway.
I don’t even trust myself to do that ride without dying. People think cars own the roads.
