However, in the US many of them are not able to bike to a playground or school

I find it infuriating that in some places there you can't even let your kid walk to school alone.

It's the result of decades of USAmerican propaganda, we're left with a very fractured community system full of in groups and out groups and people terrified of or fighting with their neighbors and delivery services where people have literally paid someone to come to their door are high risk jobs.

Ironically, in the neighborhoods I've lived in, it was the lower income ones where kids roamed more freely because some parents had no other options than trusting their kid to walk alone. But their presence also created more safety from herd protection.
