This has been my experience. I was surprised by how much I prefer biking, especially for the feeling of freedom.

Also, it's surprising what you can carry on a cargo bike. I carried our Christmas tree on a cargo bike this year. Also do all my shopping, including big costco trips. People are too quick to imagine limits that don't exist in practice.

biking really is fun. I think it's feeling the air go by + the "slow car fast" feeling. I need to get a cargo rack for my bike already.
