Ah yeah, that makes sense. However, if all roads are fully jammed, most people would be able to walk to a grocery store - it’s likely not insanely far away from you (quick search suggests average straight-line distance to a grocery shop in the US is ~4 km = 50 min, which sounds very far away from a non-US perspective but still not completely unreachable), it’s just that usually there’s a highway full of traffic between you and the store.
We actually have two, for both of us to ride on. It’s the main way we get around the city. They cost us ~$80 combined (I’m not in the US tho), plus maybe another $50 in spare parts over the year or so we’ve had them. Also, as a proud 30yo shitbox owner, what’s a monthly car payment?

Or like a 10-15 min bike ride, probably use the pavement or go off road until the spikes are cleared up
I’m assuming not many suburbanites have bikes.
Well then buy one, you can probably get one that is good for a while for less than your monthly car payment.
