The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition is arguing that bringing more bicyclists to an area has benefits to local businesses.
"• According to a study by Mintel, regular cyclists - those who cycle at least once a week - are disproportionately likely to be well educated, have a household income of at least $75,000 per year.
• Vancouver Bike to Work week statistics show over 7,000 cycling commuters with an average income of over $50,000 and 27% making over $75,000."
