looks like Bedford Falls! Very nice picture and memories of snowy streets!...
We used to do a thing called 'Bumper Hitching'..I'm sure this went on all over the Country and was called various things...Nobody taught it to us, it was just a natural reflex response to snowy streets and moving cars and being outside....
We would run out in the street and grab a bumper of a slow moving car and get pulled down the road sort of skiing along behind!...All the way to school or wherever! I dont remember it being that big a deal or anybody getting hurt or in trouble for it...It was just an alternate mode of travel instead of plodding along on unplowed sidewalks...
I dont know if kids do this anymore?...probably not..probably have to wear a safety helmet...
