At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, a manager W. Ben said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program . "It's getting more people on the road" he said. James Ryan, an employee at Danny's Cycles in Gramercy also said Citi Bike is a good option for people to ease into biking in a city famed for its traffic jams and and aggressive drivers
Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny's Cycles.But for Frank's Bike Shop, a small business on Grand St., the bike-share program has been bad news .Owner Frank Arroyo said his rental business has decreased by 90% since the Citi Bikes were rolled out last month. Arroyo's main rental customers are European tourists, who have since been drawn away by Citi Bikes .
However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop . "People have used the bike-share and realized how great it is to bike in the city, then decide that they want something nicer for themselves," he noted.

He said he worried about inexperienced riders' lack of awareness of biking rules and backlashfrom non-cyclists. However, he said, it's still too early to tell if his business has been impact ed
