Each employee invests $100 as a down payment to a $340 bicycle financed over 12 months. Each month, the employee pays the principle minus $1 for each day they commuted to work.

A lot of companies now provide metro/bus passes to employees to choose not to drive. Why not reward those who are choosing to ride? Hi Mark, you raise a good point and I like the $1/day ride stipend.

It may encourage more people to ride by defraying some of the costs. And for $240 per year for an employer, that is just $1 per day. I will talk with my board about a $1/day if you ride stipend. At the end of the month, you can turn in receipts for equipment that match that amount. At least the bike commuter act will help main street peeps.
