Sure if you didn't have a car, you'd get less groceries at a time, I don't disagree. That was one example where it would be less practical than a car, cat litter or anything heavy is not practical for a bike either. Rain or other bad weather, etc. Either way none of this has anything to do with the small town / city comparison, either can be navigated by bikes. Towns may even be easier to navigate by bike because there's generally one main road, a bunch of residential, and many less cars.
