Small back garden

We live in a 3 storey house - 14 foot wide and garden same width. Fence for garden both about 4 foot high.

Lots nearby neighbours are out in the garden And so it feels quite close. Would I be unreasonable to instead let my dd play on her bike on the front, we live on a t shaped close, so only cars and people who live on the close come up so 8 houses. Before the lock down I had allowed her to ride her bike out there, but now it feels wrong, even though she would further apart from the neighbours than in the back garden. I can watch her from my balcony so know if any cars or people are coming up or down.
What would people do?

Does she have to ride a bike?
There are lots of activities she can do in a garden- even a small one.

Do you know if other children live along the same road? If so I wouldn't, I would get her to ride around the front garden or go for a walk with her while she rides her bike, rather than riding up and down the road.

If you know for sure no other children live along the road I would probably let her, but be outside with her so I could move her back to the garden if anyone else needed to use the path.

I'm talking about them wanting to join in with the child(ren) already playing out. Perfectly natural. But not allowed right now.

No meal making here, just following guidelines.

She doesn't have to ride a bike but my point is, she is further away from other people on the front than she is in the back.
