I was watching a show called Pernille the other week, takes place in Norway, and I thought her youngest daughter was 14/15. She was 12 and walking all over the place. That freedom is just something the States doesnt have. my Son is 12, if I let him walk to the store (crossing a busy 45mph+ road) the cops could get called on me.
I used to bike or skateboard everywhere when I was that age, why do people think this isn’t possible in the USA? I drive almost everywhere now (why would I pedal when I can twist a throttle? 😉) but still regularly see middle school kids walking or biking around town. Maybe it’s just certain areas or people reading too much fear mongering news.

My kid is 11 and gets to bike to school, or walk to music lessons or the store whenever. It’s pretty cool
