San Francisco Restaurant Owner Stages Hunger Strike to Protest Bike Lane He Says is Costing Business

• San Francisco restaurant owner Eiad Eltawil is on a 30-day hunger strike to protest a new bike lane that he says is driving away customers • The bike lane removed 71 metered parking spots, which Eltawil and other business owners say has reduced visitors • Eltawil will sleep outside his restaurant and art store during the protest, consuming only water • Some locals agree with Eltawil, while others support the city's push for more bike lanes • The transportation agency says it is tweaking the bike lane design to address business owners' concerns
