I'd like to know how the bike lanes have adversely affected local businesses; if there's parking on the outer perimeter of the bike lane I don't see how it's a problem unless there's an issue with spots for commercial parking. Since moving out to NJ I don't follow NYC politics as closely as I used to, I remember Thompson being a good comptroller which is why I find it a bit odd that this would be an agenda item during a campaign. I can see the logic as far as trying to get small business behind you but this is a bit of a stretch.
