Have you heard?

Starting
in January 2009, people who use bicycles as their primary mode of transportation
for their work commute will be eligible for a $20/month, tax-free
reimbursement from their employers for bicycle-related expenses. In return,
participating employers will be able to deduct the expense from their
federal taxes.

The
Bicycle Commuter Act amends the federal tax code, allowing employers to
offer employees this benefit. If you bike to work, ask your employers if
they can provide this benefit. Employers can click on the links below to
learn more about this and other commuter benefits for your employees.
