  Good thing they live 4 minutes away from a grocery store. You can fit quite a lot on a bike very easily, and living that far away you don’t need to make big infrequent trips anyway.

        Peope can’t just say “I don’t like the weather” and leave.

        Wednesday things like housing, Healthcare, and food, which depend on jobs. And those can be very difficult to find in a new place.

        I work in municipal employee and an expert in Texas development regulations. If I leave Texas, I lose most of my value as an employee.

  Good thing that bikes can carry groceries for at least a week.

  Americans are the only creatures who don’t understand the concept of a grocery basket outside of a car

    Most Americans buy a lot of groceries at once because most Americans don’t have quick access to grocery stores, and buying smaller portions of groceries costs a fortune.

    I can buy a week’s worth of groceries for a family of 4 for about the price of 10 days of groceries for one person. But it requires being able to haul a lot more than can fit on a bike. And for many of us, the store is also a long way away with no public transit and in a place where the temperature may be lethally hot for months at a time.

        I tried saying “bippity bopping boo” just now, but it didn’t move my house 20 miles closer to the grocery store.

  With a pannier rack and baskets to hang on the rack, I can carry all the groceries we need for 1-2 weeks if I so wish on my bike, no problems whatsoever.
