    Hauling 50 pounds of groceries a couple miles is not enjoyable for the vast majority of people.

      You need to rethink how cities are designed for walking to grocery stores to work. It won’t in the US, because everything is designed for cars. But if a city is designed right, you won’t need to go miles before finding a grocery store. You can take a cargo bike to haul more things at a time. You can stop by shops on your way home from work to pick up a couple things and stick them in a backpack.

      Cities designed correctly reduce the burden on those walking or biking between points of interest that are no more than 1 or 2 miles away.
