<p>I generally meant all the businesses in that Wells St business corridor. I see plenty of folks Divvying to bars, restaurants, and other retail there. The bike-related were too obvious. :)</p>

Ironic since Village Cycle Center is a couple doors north and JC Lind Bike Co is a couple doors south. I don't know if that is who you meant when you referred to the neighbors. One would think the three could work together to expand all of their business. Some people are just too myopic for their own good.

<p>I agree with your sentiments and of course Mike doesn't speak for all his employees. However, I don't think he'll be changing his tune.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We've all dealt with indifferent drivers/workers, but I was dismayed to hear the owner of a business on such a popular bike route speak so callously. While he doesn't make his money off cyclists, I think his neighbors might disagree and appreciate the business and exposure a popular bike route brings them. </p>

<p>Like, just move over 4 feet to the curb and stop half-assing it. Seems to be too hard for a lot of people.</p>

<p>Be glad you didn't speak to the owner.</p>

This is saddening to hear. I don't think that Wells Automotive should think their sentiments are acceptable. I am sure the owner and employees would feel different if they had spouse or son/daughter that was a cyclist. Is there a diplomatic way to try to communicate with them further? Can you reach out to Active Trans and maybe they can reach out?
