Fringe Benefit for Cyclists Hanging in there

As of last week it was still in the energy bill

Winners:

Fringe Benefit for bicycle commuters.  The bill allows employers to provide employees that commute to work using a bicycle limited fringe benefits to offset the costs of such commuting (e.g. bicycle storage).  This proposal is estimated to cost $10 million over 10 years.

Thanks for the update. I haven't read the paper since Thursday (we bought a house and have been doing demolition all weekend - fun).
