"A TriBeCa restaurant owner launched a one-man war against Mayor Bloomberg’s bicycle-sharing program yesterday — holding a lone sit-in to block workers from installing a bike rack he said would obstruct his business.
Jacques Capsouto, 68, says he fears the bike station will take away parking spaces and block the entrance to his Capsouto Freres bistro on Washington Street.
So when representatives from the Department of Transportation and Citi Bike showed up yesterday, the restaurateur sat in protest on the curb where the racks were to be installed.
“I told them they could arrest me,” Capsouto recalled. “I’m sitting here. I’m protesting, but Bloomberg does whatever he wants.”"
