[QUOTE="DorkForge, post: 8713884, member: 7033277"] On a bike, not really, but a lot of freedom generally. Whilst I always had a bike it was used for short bike rides rather than going out with friends. I was born in 1994 and lived (still do) in a somewhat rural village in Wales. Given my village is on a steep hill, not on top of, built on the side and top, riding a bike would be fun in one direction and a pain to get back. I mostly just walked places, playing football, video games, or street games (like curby) a lot of the time. As I entered teen-hood this became more a split of playing football and hanging out. Just sitting in the park or walking around the village, grabbing snacks from the cheapest store with whatever change you could scrounge up. From 13 onwards this expanded to include getting dropped off in town to wander around stores and mess around with high school friends, getting given the princely sum of £10 for lunch and snacks, occasionally walking to a nearby village to friend's houses. Whilst I didn't bike places I walked pretty far, it was an hour uphill to the smaller, more wild village with fun things for a kid, like an abandoned quarry and cliffs to climb. Or 30 minutes wandering through suburbs and backroads to friends houses to play video games or go to the river to jump in and play with fire in more safer environment. I had a lot of freedom in some ways as a kid, sleep overs were not really allowed, and usually it was be home before 9 or something, by the time I was a teenager I had a phone and texting was normal. I wouldn't give my future kids this kind of freedom, because it isn't the same time I grew up in, and frankly I shouldn't have been so independent, like I shouldn't have been cooking so many of my own meals, or left alone in the house for extended periods of time from the age of 11. I'd especially be careful with a daughter, given that sadly men and women have different worries in the world, even if they are so young. I didn't get exposed to D&D until I was an adult, I don't think I had enough friends that would have been willing to play it. My lovely girlfriend on the other hand, had a much different experience. Like going too far from the adults with her friends and nearly getting taken by La Llorona, she doesn't believe it as an adult, but that's 100% what nearly happened. [/QUOTE]
