    Oh yeah there’s definitely a lot to improve. A ton of people would be more than willing to ditch their cars if there was viable alternatives that don’t massively inconvenience our daily lives.

    There is a grocery store only about 500 meters from my house but small ones like that are so much more expensive than the one I go to now. I’m easily saving my monthly fuel costs just by shopping there.

      You could also spend the fuel money you’re saving in your small local grocery store if you just walk the 7 minutes. Every trip not made by car is a win for the environment.

        Grocery trips are just a tiny portion of from where my fuel costs come from. I use the truck for work. I’d save practically no money at all by walking to the store.

      Yeah I’ve got grocery stores near enough that I don’t even need cargo space on my bike. Which is good because I don’t have a place to put my bike in my apartment
