    "Perhaps the biggest success to date is the Bicycle Commuter Act, which was promoted by Blumenauer and means, since 2009, that US employers qualify for a tax break if they offer $20 per month to employees towards the purchase of a bicycle and any repairs or storage costs. Every little helps in car-crazed America."

    Could do with that here. Six month service (I am v lazy) paid for by work? Yes please!
