Once again, not the point of this thread, but a store owner is going to be much more resistant to bringing in a motorized vehicle. I think that is obvious. Not only are these other vehicles much larger, they bring liability issues that would scream "no way" to the store owner. As for a bike, how different is a bike profile from some of these luxury strollers or monster shopping carts? A bike can usually be tucked away up-front, out-of-the-way from customers. I would never ask at a store that didn't have a convenient spot for it.
