Back to the original question. YES. I do, but my wife doesn't like doing it for clothing reasons - but she will if I bug her enough. It's easier to park, plus we're actually faster on our bikes than riding in a car, if not the same speed.

We take the beach cruisers, not the road bikes.

We live in a hoity toity area that cycling = CF frame with sponsor logos on the jerseys. A far cry from my hometwon, Santa Cruz, Ca. where cycling is perceived much differently.

This is the ultimate church/grocery/post office/dog runner machine that I built
