I own a business along the route, how will the Cyclovia affect my business?
On the day of the event the street will be opened to bikers, walkers, and other non-motorized modes. This is a great time to take your business outside and interact with the people on the streets. In other cities, some business owners were skeptics of the event because they were worried that eliminating the car traffic would affect their sales. However, the event had the opposite results. In both Miami and San Francisco retailers were pleased that so many people stopped by for food and refreshments. Some merchants experienced an increase in business by up to 300%. Check out the Car Buster Article (page 12) to find out more about how businesses benefited from this event.
