Gone are the days of getting on the bike and heading off to school and sports I guess. (Or for the whole day during the summer!)
I guess. My daughter is 14 and never bothered to learn how to ride a bike.
Ain't that the truth. It wasn't too long ago that I would venture off on my bike miles from home (so it seemed-- probably two), and all I needed to do was call my mom from a pay phone and ask her when she needed me back. And I would also ride my bike to baseball practice a mile or so away.
Now, I'm 34 and won't let my daughter out front without me or my wife being out there. Glad we have a back yard.
