Elevated Cycle Ways: Ride above it all
A bit utopian? Perhaps. But take a look at this proposal for an elevated commute that claims to be faster, safer, and protected from the elements. Plus, it is low cost.

Bike to Work Bonus!
Need another good reason to start commuting by bike? Two bills in the U.S. congress could let you earn as much as $100 per month for riding to work.
The Bicycle Commuter Act would allow an employer to add bicycling to the tax code's definition of "transportation fringe benefit." That's an incentive to get more people to use alternative transportation for commuting -- reducing traffic, pollution and wear on roads.
Under H.R. 807, your employer could grant a monthly cash reimbursement of up to $100 if you pedal to work. The company would get a tax break while you smile all the way to the bank.
