    If you live in an area where bikes are viabl3/safe they are - provided you dont need to haul tools / groceries / other people and you’re not mobility impared. It sucks that so much of the worlds infrastructure was built to be as hostile as possible to any other form of transit.

      I haul groceries all the time. I hauled them today. It’s not hard. I’d haul tools in my bicycle if my boss let me.

      provided you dont need to haul tools / groceries

      And even then, bicycles can still work

      For smaller volume cases, you can use pannier bags and go for more frequent, smaller volume grocery trips

      For bigger volume situations, there’s the possibility of a bakfiets or other type of cargo bike.
