"We had a much more wholesome upbringing that most kids today."

.

We could & would go out and ride our bikes after dinner in the summer.
Just could not stray out of the county. (Or the next one over. Too far, anyway.)
And we had to be back home when the streetlights came on.
(Or on our way - or at least thinking about starting to come home...)

In retrospect it was sort of Mayberry-Like, really.

Yes it was! We all had baskets on our bikes to carry bottles we’d cashed in to buy candy. I’d hate to be a kid today.
