There's no intrinsic need to use a car for your weekly groceries, if the infrastructure is built accordingly. A lot of European families in big cities manage that without having a car.
- lovemenot 5y agoEven framing shopping as a weekly activity is inherently car-biased. A family of four consumes more in a week than could realistically be hand-carried in a single trip by both parents. Better to do shorter and more frequent visits on foot or bicycle. Combined with delivery services which are much more resource efficient than private cars for this purpose.
- namibj 5y agoYeah, 1-2 trips a week with a cargo backpack do the trick, for the person carrying said backpack. Bonus: replaces some gym visits.
- kiliantics 5y agoI regularly do large grocery runs by bicycle. I have a cargo trailer I can hook on to my bike and it lets me carry easily 2 weeks worth of food for two adults, probably more.
