Nearly everyone walked to school. I’d walk home grab my bike and wouldn’t be home until time to make dinner. Seriously, we were just talking about riding our bikes 40-50 miles a day with a bunch of our friends. Today, we couldn’t get a mile from home before some busybody called CPS and the cops would be throwing our parents in jail. Notice that is parentSSSSS.
I remember pushing my Schwinn into the school bike-stand.
No locks. No one worried about their bike being stolen.
