I love stuff like this: A over zealous search by the Examiner to find a business, any business in opposition to the new bike lanes in DC led to misquote by the Examiner and the business is requesting a formal retraction and is offering cyclists a 10% discount. Which is a really cool reaction IMHO.
"Hayley Peterson was sent out to find merchants who were opposed bike lanes and apparently didn’t find them and used a informal inquiry to speak with me (the owner who was not available) into an opportunity to take her comment that metered parking was more of a deterrent to our customers than bike lanes to a grossly published misquote stating that bike lanes was even more of a deterrent for shoppers."
