I’m reading It by Stephen king. It seems wild that kids could go out for hours on their bikes unsupervised.
that is one of my favorite books. I've read it numerous times. I also really like The Stand.

when I was a kid, probably 6th grade, in the summer we'd stay out all day on our bikes and nobody had a clue where we were. I didn't want to be at home. We rode for miles and miles! One time we discovered this patch of woods that had trails through it, and at that point we started heading there a lot of the time. Somebody had built a makeshift tree house in there, and we'd climb up in that, until the day we heard teenagers up there, smoking and stuff so we never went back. I was a nerdy kid. haha. I used to love riding my bike back when I was a skinny little thing and the seat didn't hurt so much haha! that was back in the early to mid 1970's.
