Washington

in 4th and 5th grade in Madison, WI. Traffic cones. stop signs, and "lights" were set up on the playground of our school and a school safety cop (I remember him as Officer Graves) came to instruct us. Of course these were the days before helmets, but anyway. If you didn't pass the test, which was all practical, not written, you weren't allowed to ride your bike to school. And since almost every kid in my (upper middle-class) school had a bike, that was a Very Big Deal. Of course these were the days before Stranger Danger, when kids were allowed to walk or ride bikes to school independent of their parents from an early age. /s
