    Yes because everyone loves to go grocery shopping every other day, and with a bike, who cares if you gotta do another 5 miles out of the way.

      Where do you live that you are 5 miles from a grocery store? If I ride my bike 5 miles in any direction I will pass half a dozen grocery stores.

      I had a quick look at Google Maps and there are at least 50 supermarkets within a 5 mile radius of my home. That radius covers the whole of the city I live in, which has 38 supermarkets, plus a sizable portion of the neighboring city, which has 24, plus a few smaller villages which all have at least one.

      I went grocery shopping twice today. Once this morning to pick up some breakfast stuff and another visit in the evening to get some things for dinner. It’s a 3 minute bike ride. A grocery trip takes less than 15 minutes including the time spent in the store. I don’t think it’s possible to live farther than that from a supermarket in this city, I lived 1 minute farther away I would be closer to another supermarket.
