1. Videos on where/how bike shopping works well
Shopping with a bicycle can be far more convenient and enjoyable than using a car, as well as perfectly practical. The below film by Mike Rubbo has some great examples from the Netherlands and Sydney's Eveleigh Markets. > Eveleigh farmer's market by bike

3. Tips to aid shopping by bike
- Find a storage or carrying method that works best for each specific circumstance. E.g. Slinging takeaway over the handlebars works fine for short distances.
- Buy what you need and shop more frequently (it should be fun not a chore).
- Outfit your bike with carrying options to enable opportunistic shopping.
- Shop at smaller shops and markets that allow you to wheel your bike around with you or park right outside.
