When the local grocery store closed in the economic downturn of 2008, it meant market runs 3 or 4 days a week for odds and ends grew from a half-mile bike ride to about 4 miles. Although I miss the local grocer, I enjoy getting the chance for a longer bike ride to the Safeway, QFC or farmer's market. If the weather is decent, running an errand to the grocery store can turn into a ride of 20 or more miles. When I'm picking up a medium load like today, I'll attach the old Eclipse panniers that have served me since my TransAmerica bicycle tour in 1984. ...Source: http://www.bikingbis.com/2012/04/06/30-days-of-biking-a-typical-trip-to-the-market/
