I started walking to school when I was eight. My parents made sure I knew the way and that was that. And on our bikes we went wayyy farther than a mile unsupervised

My oldest (8) bikes to school nearly every day.

His younger brother is allowed to walk to school next year when he is 6.

It is fairly normal here for kids, that are above 6/7, to walk to and from school if it isn't too far.
