There’s some interesting info here: http://www.bikeleague.org/resources/reports/pdfs/economic_benefits_bicycle_infrastructure_report.pdf (not sure if this is exactly helpful, but good info).
Bikes Belong has some interesting statistical info as well: http://www.bikesbelong.org/resources/stats-and-research/statistics/economic-statistics/
Some specific info for CO: http://atfiles.org/files/pdf/CObikeEcon.pdf
Hope that is somewhat helpful.
Perfect! THanks so much. This information in particular is exactly what I had in mind.
Seems like bikeportland.org had a story about how removing 2 on-street parking spots in favor of multiple bike racks have increased business, but i’d have to dig around to find it. I’ll post when i find it.
I had that in mind too but couldn’t find it. The link to the BIkes Belong resources that GE provided in another comment had that information, though. Thanks!
Check out Elly Blue’s posts on “Bikenomics” on grist.org.
Great info and links to references.

Here’s an interesting study from Toronto that I posted about a couple days ago: http://www.cleanairpartnership.org/files/BikeLanes_Parking_Business_BloorWestVillage.pdf
The city of Wilmington, DE is putting a plan in place. I can dig up more info and send it to you. The gist is that merchants will give people who come to their stores on bikes a discount. The bonus for the businesses is free advertising by the City Bike Council.
