Hey William, absolutely! Doing grocery runs on a cargo bike is a game-changer. I use a longtail (specifically a GSD) and it's perfect because it handles like a normal bike but can swallow four full grocery bags, plus room for bulk items. My best advice is to figure out if you prefer a longtail or a box bike (like a Bakfiets) based on where you store it and how tight your turns are getting to the store. What kind of budget are you thinking?
