Likewise - Similar age, time, and place. My parent were vocally concerned about the danger of cars, as it's a Northeast US town with narrow winding roads, but the only rule was to be back before dark or call them to pick me up. The funny thing is back then there were no sidewalks or shoulders at all, and kids biked everywhere until old and lucky enough to drive. Now, there are extensive sidewalks on all the main roads, but the only people using them are middle aged dog walkers.
