Well what do you know... :)

And it's about time, right? The San Francisco Chronicle just reported that the $700 billion bailout of the US economy will give bicycle commuters a $20/month tax-free reimbursement starting in January of 2009. As long as your bike is your primary mode of transportation of course; fair is fair.

And speaking of fair, you just know what this will bring...  It will be the start of all kinds of creative lies to try and prove that your bike really is your primary mode of transportation. I wonder how one will be required to substantiate this? Show the federal government your road rash? Fax them a copy of your bike locker key? I see a lot of creative stories on the horizon. :(

I just hope they don't make it too hard, like for the person that drives to a park & ride and then takes the bus most of the way and rides the rest, they should get this subsidy too in my opinion. The bigger picture is getting more cars off the road,right? I sure hope so.

You hear that Tim Eyman? This is supposed to do good so don't f it up.
