I just got some news that a Kroger is opening 2 miles form my house. No more 10 mile trips to Wally world for produce.
I'd like a trailer but I don't need one yet. All the markets are literally at my door step. Three bread and pastery shops, green grocer, butcher, cheese and dairy shop (non-pasteurized please!), wine caviste... all within 50m of the apartment. However, with the advantage of location comes the compromise, I don't have the space for a trailer... if when we need something bigger to house future kids, I'll have more room for bike stuff too.
I use the bike mostly for fun and getting to work. Tomorrow, day trip to Paris, so I have to get up to get the 6am train... again 5 minutes by foot from the apt.
