If I own a grocery, it’s going to take a hell of a lot of bike trips to and from the warehouse to restock every day. Or I could employ an army of bikers. Or one truck.
Ok, so deliver food via truck. Choose the appropriate means of transportation for each type of last-mile delivery. The 200 gram Amazon package most certainly does not require a heavy truck to deliver.
One thousand stops within a five mile radius means that you’re definitely going to make it out ahead with bike delivery. So yes, the bikes would very obviously come out ahead in this scenario.
It seems I missed the point. I had deliveries in mind where the truck is mostly empty most of the time. Restocking with a truck or cargo tram (depending on the environment) would make more sense.

@I_Has_A_Hat @GissaMittJobb I think the point is use the smallest vehicle that would do the job.
