Certainly doable. I am 12 years in my experiment going carless. Cannot see myself ever getting one.
The first two years after selling my Miata (hard to do!) I used Zip Car at least a few times a month. The last few years my day car use (went from Zip to Enterprise - they are both decent) has dropped to a few times a year. For Chicago bike only I've found a low trail porteur style bike with a nice big bag atop the big front rack works best. I put my brief case and business jacket commuting to work. Easily fits groceries and most other purchases. Chicago has decent mass transit which I use from time to time. I think bike only would still work in a city that did not have as many transit options.
