    For distances you can reach within 20-30min on bike, public transport is usually about equal. Here in sweden (where public transport is kinda eeeeh) gettign to the stops is easy so long as you’re not outside a town.

    I think your problem is that you’re applying car logic to non-car modes of transport: when you can reach the store in 12 minutes by bike there’s little reason to buy a week’s worth of food at once.

    I usually buy food for maybe 2-3 days at a time, and not seldom i will just buy the ingredients for a meal literally a couple hours before, since it takes no time at all to go shopping.

    You can also get a cargo bike which will honestly fit about as much food as people bring in their cars anyways. Same goes with a bike trailer.
