Even most delivery vehicles should be replaced by either cargo bikes or by spur lines off the railroad.
I just don’t think it’d be practical to fill entire grocery stores worth of stuff on bikes. You’re not dealing with a few packages of office supplies. You’re dealing with entire warehouse districts worth of stuff having to move across cities. Even with reduced consumption, the amount of people needed to transport that on bikes would probably be more than the local population.
Do you plan to run a train through every grocery store, stop to unload at each stop, and still expect to get everything there at the same time?
We don’t live in a wildwest train town. Our cities are not built around trains and unless you plan to literally tear down the entirety of New York it will not work.
