  1. Last fall when I inquired about the feasibility of pay by
    day auto insurance someone at a bike shop mentioned a $400
    tax break for cycling to work. I wasn't sure if it was
    state or federal or even if it was yet to be enacted. Tax
    day got me thinking about it again. I contacted the local
    DOT bureaucrats who promote cycling here said they never
    heard of it.

    Anyone here hear of it?

    I praised them them on their bike lanes and then complained
    about the crinkled up asphalt. They said they didn't have
    money to resurface their streets.

    Later I got this idea: Build an asphalt resurfacing machine
    that was only 4' wide -- just enough to resurface the bike
    lanes but not the motor vehicles'.

    If they cannot afford to resurface the entire street at
    least take care of the cyclists.

    How about asking the person who told you about it? Or asking
    your state tax authority or the IRS? Those are the relevant
    parties. Or your legislator if it's yet to be enacted.
