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?

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.
