OK, so maybe I should not have been so dour yesterday in commenting about the impending passage of the financial package to stabilize credit markets here in the U.S.

I was correct in suggesting that the press would make a big deal of the bicycle commuter tax break. Many news outlets have had a field day talking about this credit as an example of the “pork” contained in the bill.

Oh well - no need to be so down - We get a tax break! Start negotiating with your employer now for better bike racks, changing facilities, and lockers, because you will be giving them a $120/year break on their taxes!
