You'll find yourself going the non car route, because now you can, also extra bits of route added on because why not.
If I take cargo to either of the two nearby morrison's (1km by bike each way, 1km by car one way, but due to traffic measures 2km on way back) it would be around half the travel time as car (if you ever drove that distance) at normal times, a third the time of peak time car movements. Also added bonus of being able to get the bike almost inside the front door (bike stands in the entrance way at both locations) meaning can unload shopping right into bike, dump trolley 5m away then ride off. Added added bonus. Morrison often have big overhanging roof = no wet arse crack when loading, unlocking etc ;)
