Freaked-out business owners have been fighting bike lanes coast to coast, in cities from San Diego to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rowe compared sales taxes in these “Neighborhood Business Districts” with those in similar districts in the city that didn’t get bike lanes. In one NBD, which replaced car lanes and three parking spots with two bike lanes, sales closely tracked those in the bike-less areas, both in peaks and troughs. Sometimes nothing changed, but more often the areas near bike lanes wound up with more employees and more revenue. It’s the new normal.” All the data in the world may prove that bike lanes are good for business.

Americans between the ages of 18 and 29, a majority of which are Gen Z, have already gotten a jump on their holiday shopping, according to a recent Shopify-Gallup Survey. And almost half, 48%, say they will do at least some of their year-end buying on social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram. For brands attempting to capture the Gen Z customer, a compelling social media presence is key. About 86% of Gen Z shoppers say social media sways their buying decisions, according to a report by ICSC. For Gen Z, a product is cool because the right person — usually one who came across their TikTok feed — has it.
