Default Shopping with no car

I always thought I would need to get a car eventually because I needed it to go shopping. Well, since I got my new bike, I found new ways to get things done. First off, you can wear a backpack while riding, you can attach a basket to the front and back of you bike. And, vwala! You're all set and you can carry quite a bit of stuff

My car is always a help when I go shopping. I tried once without my car and it was a nightmare. I told myself not to go shopping again without my car.

Well, it's a good proposition but not for me. I had decided long ago to use my bike only for the sport. And I am practicing it as much as possible. But I am shopping with a car.

My area is not bike-friendly. It would be too dangerous for me to go around with a bike. But then if you live in a suburb, then I think it's alright. It's a great idea to lose weight also!

We have a car but my husband uses it during the day when I like to go shopping so I purchased a small cart that I can push. It works out well but I save my shopping trips for days when it is not raining!

It is convenient to have your own car so that when you have lots of things to buy you can just place it in the compartment. My mom have a L300 van, that they use whenever they go out and go shopping. They can just place plenty of shopping bags inside.

I am quite used to shopping without a car since I don't drive, but I did that when I lived in a big city. Here in the countryside, it is just not possible - unfortunately.

You can take a bus, too, if that's more convenient for you since most bus lines go near lots of shopping malls and grocery stores if you don't want to walk there.
