I grew up in the city. We could leave in the morning on our bikes and the one rule was be home before the street lights come on. We would ride all over. The park The Mall ThePizza shop Miles from home. No cell phone and no one worried.
Yep.
Buddies and I would often ride around town on our way out of town with air rifles or 22s strapped on our handlebars....never a problem.
Folks too young to have not been able to experience such small things have no idea how much they have missed.
