K-12 was 3 blocks away. Walked K thru 3, then rode my bike 4 thru 6. You had to pass a bike safety test that included riding thru different courses. I got 4th in the state, prize was $20 to spend at the local bike shop. 7 and 8 was bussed 7 miles away. HS was 1 mile away. Walked in 9. 10 thru 11 rode with upperclassman friends. 12 drove myself.
Most everything was within a mile, grocery store, dime store, hobby shop, 7-11, hardware store, library branch, post office. Two pools were within the mile, but wasn't allowed to ride bike there. Don't know why. When I got older it was 11 miles to ride around the nearest lake.
