I just learned of the Bicycle commuter act which has been signed into law and will take effect Jan. 1, 2009. The measure was recently passed as part of the 451 page emergency economic stabilization act of 2008 also known as the $700 billion bailout bill. Businesses will recieve a monthly $20 tax credit for every employee who rides to work, which they can then reimburse those workers. I have challenged the hospital who is my employer to adopt this act and by promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for their employees and I encourage you to do the same at your place of employment, lets get this town on two wheels ! - Summer
