From what I understand its not as simple as you get $20 a month if you bike commute.... Your employer is allowed to deduct $20 from their taxable income if they offer perks to employees who bicycle. So if your company has showers, covered, secure bike parking, gives maintenance certificates, etc. then they can get a tax deduction for each employee who bike commutes. That means its not even really $20 per person either, its whatever percentage of $20 that the company's tax bracket dictates. I doubt its enough to persuade employers who don't already give bike commuter perks to start, but it rewards the ones who already do.
