Yes, I totally agree, there were no buses or car drives to work or to get pre packaged groceries. I pretty much walk within a 5km radius to my local grocery stores and carry a backpack with me with a few of those reusable bags inside for my grocerys. I also bike anywhere further and havent driven a car in the best part of 2 years. I also have panniers on my bike so I am ready for bigger grocery hauls too.
