Bicycle Commuter Act
Did you know that your employer can get reimbursed, by the government, for helping you pay for a new bike?
If you’ve never heard of the Bicycle Commuter Act, you may want to check it out. According to the legislation, not only can your employer help you purchase a bike, they can also help pay for your bicycle improvements, repairs, and storage at the rate of $20 per month.

Sometimes good legislation
comes out of this place!! |
Wow!! Now, in addition to fun, exercise, and environmental friendliness, you have another reason to ride your bike to work. Have a talk with your employer and see if they are willing to participate in the program. If you need to, have a copy of the Bicycle Commuter Act in hand.

Kevin,
What an awesome law,full credit to whoever introduced the law.Pity more Governments around the world didn't come-up with a scheme like this.
Is it very well publicised?
Barry,
I live in a bicycle-crazy community, and I'm an avid biker, but I'd never heard of this before. It seems to be a well-kept secret.
