I have a scar on my shin from hitting the mailbox and the corner spike digging in. It bled like it was paid to and took forever to fully heal.

Those also sucked if you were barefoot, but you just bared it.
And yet we are still here.

there were some pathways in the woods i would take my ten speed road bike through and one was quite the surprise the first time i rode on it. it was down a hillside and at the bottom there was a sharp turn and then four wooden posts (the size of telephone poles) that you had to thread between two of them to get through. the first time it was so quick it was all reactions and it wasn't a problem but at least after that i knew what was coming. the next few times it went ok. and then the last time i went through there i clipped my pedal and it took it right off and yes it hurt...

i don't even know if those woods are there any longer - i'd be surprised if they haven't been cleared and used for houses by now.

as for dumb things we did, we'd have people lay on the ground and jump our bikes over them with a ramp. you got extra points for being brave (back then, now i'd say stupid :) ) for being on the end. nobody ever got hit or hurt, but one time i jumped without any people being on the ground and my front tire came off - that was an interesting landing. ...

It's a miracle that some of us survived childhood. When I was growing up a lot of the neighborhood kids had horses (and go carts and dirt bikes, but that's a different story). We devised a game on horseback that we innocently called "tag." It involved riding double on the horses and the way you'd win was to drag the extra rider off, often at high speed. So much fun! There was a time when the rider behind me got dragged off my horse, almost taking me with her. Somehow, she spun around in mid-air with her rear facing my horse. He took offense and kicked back with both feet leaving perfect hoof prints on her rear end. We laughed about that for decades. :lol:

Bareback and barefoot horse riding. My cousins took me out a lot on rides. Later I was out alone at great aunts.

Wandering around the scrub desert by my house was nice. There was wild babies breath there that I dragged home some of one year along with some lupine. Mom made me show her where. She drove out to where the road ended and we picked a bunch so she could use it in the flowers for Memorial Day that year. There's houses, a park, and now a giant parking lot for the music festival there now.
