That kind of thinking stems from having the car as a first choice, it's easy to go 50km with a car instead of 7km. If bicycle and walking become the first choice for short travels under 7 km then you will see that you can reach most things by bike, and are still able to take the car to do those far away shopping sprees. Yes bicycle parking is important, but it's relatively cheap, mostly because it does not need that much infrastructure.
