I drive by furniture stores in my car, and let me tell ya, nobody's going to furniture stores anymore.
If you really want to spends thousands of dollars on a couch or kitchen table, just ask the store to deliver.
- bluGill 3y agoThe point is that people who buy furniture drive to the store. The store might deliver or they might take it themselves (if they have a truck they will save the delivery fee). It isn't just furniture - that is just an example. The bike lane is about alcohol and ice cream: nothing else! No clothing, groceries, restaurants, paint, golf simulation, gymnastics, dance, or dollar store gets customers from the bike lane. (I'm thinking of a specific strip mall in my town) Even the local bike store gets most customers by car!
- UtopiaPunk 3y agoOh weird, because I biked to my local coffee shop this afternoon to work on my computer. On the way, I stopped at a pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and then the local bakery to pick up a loaf of bread. After I'm done working, I plan to stop at the bike shop and the grocery store on my way home. There's no alcohol or ice cream on the errands list, but that's not a bad idea. And today is a Thursday even!
