Yes and yes!!

Best thing I did was get a bike with a pannier rack - it's opened up so much utility and freedom. Really want an eCargo bike but no space to keep one just yet

I don't have the space (or budget) for a true cargo bike, but both my bikes have front and rear racks, and I have a bike trailer for larger hauls. These inexpensive additions have made replacing most car trips a reality.

By the same token, if my car had no trunk, I'd probably never have a reason to drive it. LOL
