Typically, one would visit the local sundry shops at least twice a week. These shops are usually situated within a 1 km radius of the home. Unfortunately, most of the time, one would use the car to make the trip. Ba cause of short distance, a normal car will not reach its optimal operating temperature and hence the fuel consumption for that 1 km trip is very high.
Why not get a bike and have a healthy ride to the shop instead? You can get a good exercise as well as save on fuel. The environment will also gain with the reduced exhaust smoke. Specialty bike shops sell attachments to bike that would allow you to carry groceries as well as a child.
