Except for 1 bike (which is used bike) I've always had a bike (I have 4 bikes) where each bike had a rear carrier and always threw on the pannier(s).Isn't it great!
I'm to the point where it's unusual for me to take the car to do errands!
I don't have a car. If it's not snowing much or not a ton of rain, I go grocery shopping by cycling there.
Frankly, cycling to grocery shop is...semi-survival for me. The other alternative is public transit which I will use in snowy winters.
Grocery shopping is usually more enjoyable. Sure the loads maybe heavy, but it isn't for long usually and a good fitness ride if it is.
