I love my bicycle. If I could, I'd ride it everywhere for fun and even run errands on it. I also have an old car that I do my best to take care of and use for big trips, extensive errand running, or if it's just really gross outside. I've always wanted to put a dent in the car usage and get greener about getting around, but that's been a tough nut to crack.
The most logical place to make the switch seemed to be on the grocery side of things. We've got a walkable but expensive grocery store down our street in Seattle, and I wanted to be able to do bulk runs to Costco and support my favorite local produce stand, MacPherson’s, for our household of two. MacPherson’s is a mile away, up at the top of Beacon Hill, and Costco is two miles away, clear on the other side of the hill.
