Wouldn't those three mile or less trips usually be for transporting cargo that wouldn't fit on a bike?



I don't think "usually" is close to accurate. People go to work, restaurants, friends' homes, etc without transporting any cargo. Big grocery runs are maybe once a week.


There are bikes that can take fairly large loads[1].
