Why Bicyclists Are Better Customers Than Drivers for Local BusinessOriginally posted on dc.streetsblog.org Do local and state officials tune out when you try to talk to them about bicycling? Are they unconvinced by arguments about public health, transportation options, or clean air? Do business leaders send you packing when you suggest building new bike lanes and bike parking, fearing that the loss of car parking will keep customers away? Then show them the money.
