Wanting all businesses to be required to have bike racks outside is pretty much asking for more government overreach. And not all businesses get bike traffic do they? While I would appreciate a bike rack outside a couple of businesses I occasionally ride my bike to, I don't want the city mandating them. And as a business owner that bikes, I don't even have a rack outside of the building I own as I doubt none of the employees or clients would ever use them.
I don't think more bike racks are a bad thing. My favorite coffee shop I ride to has one and I wish the brewery I like had one. But any government be it local, state or federal shouldn't be involved in making it happen.
