Bicycles and public transportation are better yes. If I were healthy enough I would consider a cargo bike and bring 20kg of shopping home on that (for real). It would be cool. Then buses for unladen journeys.

If the cargo bike is electric, the threshold for healthy enough lowers significantly.

My weekly shopping for a family of four is done on one like that, which I can park like 50cm away from the shop door and 50cm away from my home front door. That’s even more convenient than any car.

Why 20kg? I could stop by the supermarket every day and get what I can carry in one or two bags.
