I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I’m just being lazy.

I don’t have a car, I don’t have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.

    About 200 meters, but I usually take the bike down to the Lidl 1 km away.

    Where I last lived I had 200 meters to a small shop and 3.5 km to the local Lidl, which was fine but not ideal.

    Getting a bike with a rack might be a good idea for your grocery runs. 3 km is less than 10 minutes on a bike.
