    Back in the day people would go for a drive and stop at random shops…

    I’m older now, but traffic and road rage is way crazier these days. I don’t know how people find driving enjoyable.

    Lots of people like riding bikes tho, and they’ve got even more reason to stop for shopping, food, or drinks.

    What works better than bike lanes tho is bike trails. Lots of cities are converting old rail road tracks into biking/walking trails, and business is booming up and down those trails.

      Bike trails are great for recreation. Bike lanes, separated and safe, are great for taking care of business. They also keep more cars off the roads in denser areas, making life better for everyone. We can do both.
