My city is just too hilly. Cycling around is one thing, and they just put in new bike lanes (they’re not good ones, but still), but doing that with a grocery run or 60lbs of cat food and litter? No thank you.
Weight speeds you up downhill more than it slows you down uphill. The trick is to not coast - keep pedaling downhill, use the momentum to get up the next hill.
In the USA, that boat sailed long ago… most cities are too spread out to pedal anywhere

Wife and I bought e-assist bikes, it makes it so you don’t really have to work much even when youre carrying groceries

Nah, it’s never too late. All you need is the will, the rest will come.
