I'm not going to tell you not to buy a car (I like 'em), but get a rack and a pair of saddlebags for your bike. I can fit a week's groceries in two saddlebags. I could also drop a backpack in one saddlebag, and a coat in the other. Taking the pack off your back dramatically improves the comfort of the ride.
I used to ride about four miles to school until the first snow accumulation. Then I'd hang up the bike until March.
