which I'm considering doing someday.
What happens when you need to get groceries or drop a box off at the post office? How do bikehipstersâ„¢ usually manage these things? Do I ask for a ride or borrow a car?

Move to a town where the post office is closer. Buy saddle bags or a backpack.
I ride when the place is close enough. Short trips are very hard on a motor, especially one with high mileage.

yeah im going to have a shitty car so that sounds solid.
I might have to wait until I'm settled down and I've found a place where everything is just right.
@previous (!hEyBrieeXM)
brilliant. What kind of bike is that?

kind of depends on how much you need and how often you'd want to go

idunno, but it's fixed gear, lol.
if you have a bike with a rack on the back it's even easier to put a basket on, as all you need is a couple of bungee cords.
you've never seen someone carrying stuff on their bike before?

and no cause I grew up in the country where it's too remote to bike, and then moved to the valleys of LA where people can't really use bikes for daily transportation because it's too hilly.
when I move to north central orange county where it's flat, I can consider biking as a daily commute.
