Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny’s Cycles.But for Frank’s Bike Shop,a small business on Christopher St.,the bikeshare program has been bad news.Owner Frank Arroyo said his rental business has decreased by 90% since City Bike was rolled out last month.Arroyo’s main rental customers are European tourists,who have since been drawn away by City Bikes.
However,Ben said the bikeshare is good for bike sales at his shop.“People have used the bikeshare and realized how great it is to bike in the city,then decide that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted.Andrew Crooks,owner of NYC Velo,at 64 Second Ave,said at first he was concerned about bikeshare,though,he admitted,“I was happy to see people on bikes.It seemed like a great idea,but one that would be difficult to implement(实施).”Crooks said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack of awareness of biking rules and strong negative reaction from noncyclists.“However,” he said,“it’s still too early to tell if his business has been impacted.” While it’s possible that bikeshare will cause a drop in business,Crooks thought that the idea was a positive step forward for New York City.
