      A 6 year old riding his bike so far away from his mom they had to call her and wait for her to show up?

      100% fake. 6 years olds are about when most kids start taking their training wheels off. They aren’t going off on solo excursions.

        Didn’t say which country, here 6 yo definitely ride their bikes alone. At least when it’s like town center where cars normally aren’t even allowed.

          Lol don’t bother, most north Americans will never understand. In my city a father had to fight in court for years for the right to let his 3 kids ride the bus alone. He was at risk of losing his kids for daring to teach them to be independent before they were old enough to drive.

          We don’t even have spaces where a six year old could bike alone safely. Our cities fucking suck.
