I think it's not if it is "close," but if it's "convenient" to your commute route -- in terms of location and/or commuting method. If I am in NYC and I need to get off the subway, walk a half block, get the item, and then walk back and get not he subway; I might not want to do it, depending on the item. If I'm somewhere where I'm driving my commute, I might not think twice of driving five minutes out of my way and I can pick up almost anything. If I'm riding my bike to commute, I might easily be able to stop, but I might not be able to carry it.

You could get one of these: http://www.christianiabikes.com/en/ http://www.christianiabikes.com/en/ :) I see a lot of then in Copenhagen these days. Mostly families though, since they use them to carry both kids and shopping. Also probably requires a certain infrastructure to work; you wouldn't want to ride one of those in traffic (esp. with kids), only in dedicated bike lanes.
- zevyoura 12y agoI've actually seen a handful of these in SF as well, which doesn't really have the infrastructure I'd think would be necessary.
- 5555624 12y agoI've seen a couple and given something like that a thought, for a bike to run errands; but, I'd never commute with one. (I'm not sure where I'd park it at work, among other things.)
