That sounds really nice, Shooting Star. I occasionally see kids riding to school here, but not from my neighborhood. In fact, the kids in my neighborhood go to school on the other side of a major highway. But, kids closer in to the center of town do ride to school. There are sidewalks. Usually, they are in groups, or twos, sometimes with a parent leading. Last week, I saw 2 girls, around 10 in the west Concord shopping area, on their bikes. This is so unusual to see, as parents are just afraid to let their kids do this. These girls were doing the same stuff I did as a kid: go the five and dime, eat ice cream, and poke around in the other stores.
