So,a 16 year old needs a note from his mom and dad nowadays to ride his bicycle away from home**********? With a note,the army will hand him an M-16 and a 45.
If it's OK with your folks,that's all that matters.....get on your bike and ride dude.....and have fun!
At that age,I was mountain climbing,hanging on the end of a rope,1000 ft off the ground and riding my bicycle 100's of miles away from home......nobody asked me for a note.
Do minors need notes to go to Disneyland also**********
