Have a look at cargo bikes, they’ve diversified greatly over the last ~5 years. For example, there’s models now that are smaller than a regular bike, way more nimble than a regular cargo bike, but still quite versatile if you don’t need to carry three children and the kitchen sink, eg yoonit (they’re a German company, not sure about availability elsewhere).
I mean, I appreciate the thought, but splurging several thousand bucks on something I don’t even know if I’ll want to use, that just ain’t happening… 😅
Sure, I understand. It’s still much cheaper than a car in the long run.
And prices will eventually drop with more competition and there’s not a really functional second hand market for these things since they are too new.
But yeah it really was just an FYI in case at some point you realize “I can’t do this by foot alone” you know there’s a variety of options that’s not a clunky “bakfiets”.
Depending on the size of your household, you could just get regular saddle bags for the bike and use those to transport your groceries. You’d be surprised how much fits.
But also if you wanna continue walking you could get one of those shopping carts that grannies use, I think they’re very useful and save you a lot of effort
