Gen X likes to talk about how they'd all get on their bikes and meet up with friends.

Was it also the Gen X parents who didn't want their kinds riding on bikes in the streets due to safety issues? Lol

EDIT: fixed spelling of "Lol" (formerly "Loo")

No, that started happening more to Millennial kids. The whole Satanic Panic stranger danger didn't really kick off until the 80s, by then most gen Xers would be driving.

Yeah, I was wondering if it was Gen X as the parents who did part of that. I could see some younger millennials having Gen X parents.
