Yeah businesses hate bikes but they are wrong in their fears of losing business over less parking spaces. Small business owners are in precarious financial situations and can and will freak out at anything they perceive could be potentially damaging for their business. Whether removing/reducing parking would reduce business is up for debate though, and in most historical cases has only improved local business... Even so I won't lament the loss of a few shops or retaurants if it means having a more bicycle friendly city.
