Parking spots = parking meter and parking fine revenue

Bike lanes are proven to increase revenue for businesses in their vicinity. Car parking takes up valuable space in a city which could be used more productively.

I agree but try convincing local politicians of that. They just see immediate revenue disappearing, no long term gains.

There are some politicians that will listen, so consider joining a bicycle advocacy group if your town has one. Failing that, guerilla urbanism is an option.
