The ride into town is only one mile to 2 miles roundtrip depending on where we are headed... but with a BIG hill coming back home.
Every time we have to go to the bank, the PO, the grocery for a couple of items, the drugstore....one of us just takes a bike now. DH has a nice basket on his hybrid, and I have a backpack I like for biking when I need to stash things.
I know you like to wear knickers sometimes when you're running errands -- what about your husband? Is he always in road shorts, or does he wear other stuff? There's a great little greasy spoon cafe where my husband and I love to eat breakfast on the weekends, and it's only 4 pretty easy miles away. I keep saying we should ride our bikes but he says no, he's not going inside wearing his cycling clothes; he'd feel like a dork. (Hmm, could it be because so many folks on Harleys show up there?)

So I was wondering what the guys do when they're running errands around town on bikes. I'm sure many of them don't mind, and my husband doesn't mind wearing them to cycle -- he prefers it. But not going inside stores and such.
