And? I do my groceries by foot or bicycle and it goes just fine. Same with public transit. There’s also home delivery, that goes by bicyclists.
Groceries are mostly doable I’d say. But what if you need a larger or heavier item? Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to get rid of the car and am bicyclist myself, but realistically? Between bad weather (while rain can be done, it is not a very pleasant experience, moreover when it’s cold as well), shit public transport and more complicated payloads and such, it quickly gets complicated. And all the kudos to you if that works for you, honestly.

For heavier items I just put them in a bicycle bag on the back of the bike. You then don’t need to carry anything on your back.
For rainy and cold weather I just wear gloves + a thin scarf + a shirt + sweater and then a breathing rain jacket. You’ll get warm soon enough bicycling and it works well for that.
