Grocery shopping is the only time I use my car on a regular basis. Dealing with bus routes and scheduling is just not worth the trouble. Come spring, I'm hoping to add some storage on my bike.

same here. Our household car is basically used for one job commute out of the city and groceries. Pretty much everything else in the metro area we do on foot or with the T.

I finally caved and bought this Burley Nomad bike cargo trailer to hitch to my organic (lol, I mean non-electric) bike. It lets me bring a whole week's worth of groceries for two people home from whichever store I want. Previously, I was using pannier bags, but that's more like picking-up-a-few-things or shopping-for-a-party sized. I love it! Plus it has a cute orange flag that reminds me of the Schwinn I rode as a kid.
