It's like seeing a coffee shop or McDonalds out in the burbs with huge parking lot and a drive-thru. It's never full and closes early.
A coffee shop or McDonalds in a downtown kind of area where people walk/cycle is always full and open late.

Also it comes down to the fact of operating a good business that people want to go to.

There is a pilot project for segregated downtown bike lanes in my city, and the Sun keeps publishing articles on how local businesses are affected and how people want it torn up, etc.

example: http://www.ottawasun.com/2012/02/10/...r-bad-business
The article makes it look like bike lanes are bad, but then you do some research and realize its not even showing the whole picture.
-the businesses affected were going out of business BEFORE the lanes came, and one of the restaurants in their article had multiple previous health code violations.
-if people want to drive a car downtown to make a photocopy at a photocopy shop, they can park their car on the multiple side streets that have free on street parking.
-the likelihood of parking directly in front of a business is minimal, bike lane or not.

People complain about low cost, low impact things like bike lanes, and yet at the same time expect high cost high impact things like highway expansions and multi-lane highspeed bridges to come out of thin air.
