Pay would be nice, don\’t you think? And just for riding your bicycle to work!

The Bicycle Commuter Act sure sounds interesting. It would help bicycle commuters who, unlike me, live far enough away from work that it\’s too far to walk. I suspect that my commute of under 3 miles doesn\’t allow me to qualify for this. But how nice it would be to get it!

Although maintaining a bicycle costs much less than the upkeep of a car, it can still get expensive. Tires need replacing. Components such as chains and cassettes (if your bicycle isn\’t a single-speed) wear out. A tune-up every few thousand miles is in order.

Want to commute by bicycle, but have  a lot of stuff to carry?

Racks and panniers and bike trunks to the rescue! Foul weather? How about a rain suit — in a vivid, high-visibility color, of course.

Finally, wouldn\’t we all like to see a bit of extra \”green\” in our wallets? Pay would be nice!
