Oregonian here... biking with groceries in the rain...

No way been biking to get groceries for decades. You just need the right luggage. Personally I have a folder with a low rack so a 70L trekking pack with an aluminum frame works great. Before that I used the 4 kitty litter panniers. But easiest is probably just a cargo bike

Just need the right bike for the job.

Let alone 2 to 4 feet of snow, ice on the roads and people struggling to walk, let alone riding a bike, as cars have shovels out trying to get unstuck, and snow piled up where people used to bike in the summer

People thinking bikes are the solution live in climates with mild weather. There is no possible way for that to work where I live. When I do see people biking it is very specialized gear, and no chance they could pull a trailer on top of things.

It's a Dutch picture. I have never seen a cashier standing up, I think a chair is mandated by law or workers protection rights

We have exactly one grocery store in my city - that I'm aware of - that allows its cashiers to sit. It's Aldi lol.

This is a very common Dutch design for bike racks. You use the vertical bar to chain your frame to.

If your groceries are popping your front wheel up, you have a very awkward setup. I've only had that happen with very large/weird loads. Normal groceries should be over your rear axle, not behind it.

Not all bikes are the same, but over here 90% of bikes are city bikes, and this rack accommodates that.

You're supposed to lock the rear wheel with a u-bolt, not the front wheel.

This must vary a lot, but that's how you keep only a wheel where I'm from. I even saw those wheels locked to railings here and there in Berlin

How would locking the rear wheel work for that yellow bike with the tow cart? If bicycles are to replace cars for grocery runs, I imagine such tow carts would be a must for many people.

That guy didn't have a car in the first photo either. They probably just walked home. But seriously, you can fit a surprising amount of groceries on a bike, especially with saddlebags or just a backpack. Plus, if you don't have to drive to the grocery store you often find you can make a few smaller trips now and then instead of one giant stressful trip that you have to plan everything around.
