It's less dangerous.
When I was 11, I was taking public transit all over the place with my friends. To movies, roller-rinks, the mall. I got myself to and from doctors and dentist appointments. We rode our bikes halfway across the city, from Elbow Park to Glenmore Reservoir to Fish Creek. Often didn't see or speak to an adult for the better part of a day.
