How about being trusted by your parents to ride your bicycle ALL day Saturday w/o supervision (and obviously w/o being tracked by a cell phone) even though you were only 16 years old??


16? I was doing that at 7. By 12 I was taking the bus an hour away into the city (SF) to hang out. 16? I had a car. I might be 300 miles away on a Saturday.

It started earlier than 16, but that age sticks in my mind because I was recovering from a stress fracture and rode my bicycle a LOT, especially since I didn't have a car until I went to college and there was no public transportation where I grew up.

Shoot, I was catching a bus in Metairie and executing a couple transfers to go to Saints games where I'd buy a Youth ticket at Tulane Stadium when I was 11.
