    provided you dont need to haul tools

    Large tools, not tools in general. You can haul a tool belt, a battery skil saw, and a drill just fine on a bike, which is all you need for a lot of construction work. You could even haul a compressor and it’s accessories like that. I wouldn’t expect a 12ft ladder, or a diesel generator, but those are very large and very heavy, respectively, and also not generally needed.

    groceries

    Even if you do weekly shopping for a family of 6, you can do that by bike just fine. Cargo bikes and trailers are a thing. But we shouldn’t need to do weekly shopping trips, because the store should be a 5 minute walk away that you can just stop at anytime.

    Trailer is a thing. As are various passenger bikes
