John Short sent this. Seemed interesting.

This is an easy way to get an opinion on biking and such to some
people who might be able to make some difference. Or for the wary
among us they might just be wanting to know we are and where we
live.......

Bicycle Commuter Act (H.R.807, S.2635). It's before the U.S.
congress right now. Here's how it'll work if passed into law: The
bill provides a tax benefit to employers who offer cash
reimbursements to employees to defray costs of riding to work. All it
requires is an amendment to the Transportation Fringe Benefit of the
tax code to extend the definition of "transportation" to include
bicycles. Employers are given the flexibility to set their level of
benefit payments, and the bike commuter can use the money to pay for
a bicycle, accessories, safety equipment, insurance, and locker or
shower fees. If you like this concept, click
