I have lived many places in the US (rural, suburb, city) and have been able to bike in all of them. There's roads in every civilized country, the idea u can't bike in 99% of USA I manufactured by nanny culture. We gathererd at old mills, parks, friends houses. Kids has social lives before the internet so your argument is pretty moot. Not saying lock them up with no Internet but letting them have unrestricted access will lead to poor outcomes.
