Weird thing is that many American kids no longer do this in the suburbs, and it used to be very very common 30+ years ago.

I imagine that is a combo of helicopter parenting + American roads becoming less safe.

Most kids have no where nearby to go on bikes. Plus cars and trucks are enormously more dangerous to kids these days thanks to being much larger, heavier and quicker to accelerate.

Of course kids can't go bike riding because they are not allowed to be outside your sight.
