Bike to Work for $$

"As of January 1, bicyclists got their first piece of the economic stimulus plan," David Beard of The Boston Globe's 'The Green Blog' commented. Cyclists who commute to work "can get reimbursed up to $20 per month, either as a cash reimbursement or a pre-tax deduction" if their employers participate in the national program.

The plan was passed by Congress, referred to as The Bicycle Commuter Act, written by Congreesman Blumenauer of Oregon. You can read the full legislation here.
