Marty and I have talked quite a bit about how biking to work is the silver bullet solution for so many of the “problems” facing our country today. Here is a list of things a simple cycle to work checks off:
1. reducing your carbon footprint
2. reducing our dependence on foreign oil
3. reducing traffic congestion
4. reducing the need for a bypass later in life
Marty believes full time bicycle commuters should receive massive tax breaks. I wouldn’t disagree with that based on my proclivity to pedal places. Instead of waiting for the government to catch up with our big ideas we’ve decided to act locally, very locally. Hence forth every time one our own bikes to work they will also count a five dollar contribution from us into their IRA. Helmets are mandatory, spandex is optional.
