That generalization is vague to the point of uselessness. It really depends on the nature of the business in question.
- r_klancer 8y agoOne Cambridge business that has been vocally against bike infrastructure is a pharmacy. I understand why they would be against it, because much of their clientele is elderly. There's a new parking protected bike lane in front of their business, and there are fewer parking spots than there used to be (and those that remain are bang against the "car lane" on one side and the bike lane on the other) I fully support the law, but given that the proprietors treat us very well and know my wife by name, I haven't tried too hard to change their mind.
