Answer 1

HI rohiniferns, this sentence could be simplified:

Voy al almacén en bicicleta.

Actually, I would translate your sentence:

I take the bike to go to the store.

to go to: para ir

This is called purpose.

Estudio inglés para viajar a Inglaterra. (to travel to..) Cojo el coche para ir a la oficina. (to go to..)
