      My supermarket does this: if you go shopping with public transport, then you can ask the cashier to have someone deliver the just purchased groceries to your house for 5 euro

      Not really, if you’re doing your weekly shop all in one go (especially for a family), it can make sense that your weekly shop can be more than you can carry and thus you need something to help you carry it. I wouldn’t want to lug 4-5 bags of shopping onto a bus where I’m going to piss someone off because I placed them on the seat, nor do I want to try to balance all that on the handlebars of a bike where a single fuckup or pothole I can’t see will lose me lots of money in shopping.

      I don’t personally do those sorts of large shops, but people are busy and literally schedule this in their week so it’s not insane.

      Or hey, maybe more people could shop online? With well planned routes it could be more efficient than lots of people all travelling to one place.

        If you live in a dense area with more local shops, you’ll probably be doing more frequent, smaller shops throughout the week.

        What about one of those carts you can hook up to your bike? I asked around once and heard it can carry 50 kg.
