I wouldn't be so sure in her case, the ask for more bike parking has been happening for the better part of a year and they just don't appear receptive as a BRZ to those needs. In the end they'll only hurt themselves as other BRZ's cater to the cycling community and attract any business via that mode to them. Beltline is ramping up, so is the Vic Park BRZ, Kensington and Inglewood too. As things get tougher it will be a battle to get the business still out there to their areas, if throwing a few more bike racks could help with that why not do it?

Unless the business's speaking to her are bringing actual statistics compiled someway isn't that anecdotal too?
Vero Bistro in Kensington gives you a feedback form after every meal, part of it asks how you got there and lists several choices plus a write in section. Now if folks coming to her door start dumping info based on surveys like that then we can start to take things at more than what was quoted in Metro. Asides from that how would a restaurant owner know the difference from someone that walked to their restaurant versus drove or biked?
All this posted as someone that drives, walks, and bikes to restaurants/pubs and such.
