My closest grocery store is more than two miles away (3.2km). I'm not walking that carrying several bags of groceries. I certainly don't have time to go to the store more than once a week or so.

3.2 is like less than 10 minutes on a bike, which can easily carry more than a week's worth of groceries with the right type of equipment.

It says "4 min. drive" in the OP though, which is what everybody is commenting about, not your personal anecdote.

That is a lot more than a 4 minute drive then.

Going to the shop here by car is by google maps, "typically 7-12 mins" for a 2 mile trip and that is a pretty accurate estimate. I can cycle it reliably in 10 and don't even have to sober up.

Please don't ride your bike drunk. Youre not just endangering yourself, but other cyclists and pedestrians too.
