We rode our bikes everywhere too, but it was more to the edges of the woods so we could go play in the creek or to neighbors houses. I don't know if I'll ever let my kids ride any farther than a few streets away, and it's sad!

@mrbee: Same! we grew up in the country and my bike was like my right arm. I couldn't survive without it. We would bike all over the place. My brother and I always knew how to fix our own bikes if something went wrong.. and if we didn't we would play around in the garage until we could figure it out.

All the time. I loved my bike! I can't wait to buy bikes for my kids and we can go on family bike rides.

Everywhere!!! All summer long, we rode our bikes to the corner store for candy runs, the ice cream store, the park, to Burger King for fries, to the movie store to rent movies. It was my main method of transportation from age 8-16+ . One of the main reasons DH and I bought in the area we did is because it's IN town so LO will be able to ride her bike to friends houses, soccer practice, school etc. We would love a little more space and to not be in such a cookie cutter neighborhood, but giving her that freedom as she grows up is worth it.

We rode our bikes so much. We lived in the middle of nowhere and it was like 5 miles to a tiny little gas station. My sister and I would save up quarters and go buy candy. And a lot of the roads were that really loose sand (we called it sugar sand) and I laugh about how much we would bike through that. It was so thick and soft that you'd have to stand and pedal your little heart out. I don't think I could do it now.

Yes I used to ride my bike everywhere! Sometimes I would ride it to go visit friends, other times I would just ride around town to collect my own thoughts. I loved biking!
