Oh I see.. Okay. Yes, it's same with British, too... I was grow up to have no money allowances to learn how to budget... until I learn from other Europe countries and began to agree with them to let the kids to have money allowance at earlier age to learn... If they want more than limit allowances then they have to work for us...

We took "bag" lunches to school, so we didn't get lunch money.

I mean 20-30 miles one way. In the winter time, that would include riding in the dark. Some people commute 50 miles a day. Would you ride a bike for that every day? Would you let your kids ride their bikes 20 miles in the dark?

See above where I answered mlds's question. A lot of Germans ride their bikes in the dark since we have bicycle lanes here in Germany which it's safe. I would not allow my children to ride their bikes during bad weather but bus... My children grew up to respect bicycle safety... they have bicycle training "liecsne" from police at school.
