Born in 1962 myself. Also walked to kindergarten without my parents. Can’t recall ever being told how far was too far when heading out to ride my bike. My parents sent me (12) and my little brother (9) on a greyhound bus from California to Arizona (12 hours if no stops) to see my grandmother. I think today a parent would get arrested for that.
You could walk to school alone with no fear and the music was better.
