"taken the bike" = ridden the bike? Yes If so, to the supermarket? Yes To another relevant location? From another relevant location? From home, not really relevant though
Did you spend any money at the supermarket today? Yes If so, is it relevant what you purchased? Yesish Is it relevant what you would have purchased had you taken the bike? Yes Would you in fact have made more purchases had you taken the bike? No, but...
"bike" = bicycle? This Motorcycle?
Earnest
To be sure: I am assuming that "taken" it's not like "bought". So the statement is not "If I had bought the bike (at the supermarket), I would have spent more money at the supermarket today." Right? Correct
Again spend more money = in exchange of a service? in exchange of more goods? in exchange of nothing? No to all Maybe you would have needed to buy the ticket for the metro since it was raining outside when you ended up your purchases? No Did you go to the supermarket? Yes Did you go there to buy goods? Yes To have a service (e.g. hairdresser)? No Would it have make sense to go to the supermarket with bike (e.g. maybe not because you went to te hairdresser so going by bike to the supermarket would have been useless since you needed to wear the helmet on the way back)? It would have made sense
the bike = rent a bike? your own bike? This The bike of someone else? Relevant? Not really
Had you taken the bike, would you have expected to spend more at the supermarket? Yes If so, also had you not the intention to go to the supermarket? Please rephrase Had you taken the bike would you have gone to the supermarket where you usually go (assuming that you usually go to the supermarket) Yes
today --> only today? Also other days? It happened only on the day of the puzzle statement, but could have happened on any other day as well If not, Black Friday relevant? No
Assuming that you have taken the bike to the supermarket, and that you bought something in thee supermarket, relevant that you would have needed to take that you purchased on the bike (which could be more uncomfortable than transporting it by car/other means)? Not relevant
Had you travelled by public means of transportations would you have spent more money at the supermarket? Difficult to say Is the supermarket near your house? Yes Do you usually go there by bike/foot/other means? I usually go by bike or walk there
more money = one euro more? one cent more? More than 20 euros? more than 100 euros? more than 5 euros? Around 5 euros more

Relevant what you did take instead of the bike? Yes If so: feet? This Car? Bus? Moped? MC? Train? Trolley? Would you have bought more stuff? No More expensive stuff? Yes spent money without getting stuff? No WAG: could you not buy frozen goods, because your non-bike means of transport would lead it to thaw? Good idea, but no
