[quote=Anonymous]Of course the neighborhood makes a difference. We used to live off a busy main road (Wisconsin) and there is no way we would allow DS to ride his bike around the neighborhood. Too many pedestrians on the sidewalks and he wasn't mature enough to anticipate things like car doors opening on the streets or cars making turns into crosswalks. We would allow him to go to friends homes in the condo building, but the parents would always call or text when a kid was on the way to and from. We now live in Barnaby Woods and DS is 10. From the time he was 8, we would allow him to walk to neighbors' houses. The kids also bike because we live on a street with very little car traffic. Again, the parents typically call or text to let us know when a child is leaving or heading over to another home.[/quote]
