You would be amazed what you can fit on an appropriate bike (something like an 8 freight (http://www.bikefix.co.uk/8freight.html)), or a cargo trailer (http://www.bikefix.co.uk/vitelli.html). A bookcase might be a problem, but I've only taken 12 or so bookcases home since moving house. Um. Well, most of them were a single purchase at Ikea, and I could have hired a van for that if necessary (for example if I only had a car, not a trailer as well). Though I do have a car, and no plans to give it up (and had a car when I lived in Cambridge, though it got used much less then). (I have considered getting a much smaller car and renting a big one for holidays, and decided it wasn't quite worthwhile.)
