How about giving the people who bike to work a nice big fat tax break!
Money always is a good incentive.
There are already some tax reductions if you use your bike to go to work,
I said a nice BIG FAT tax break, I pay so much in taxes and I get little of a tax break for having a kid not to even matter if I bike in the horrible weather of NL to work... Again the words big and fat where in the sentence not a little piss off bit they offer!
I do not think it is a big enough break or I would think more would bike to work, money is a hell of a motivator. Hell even in this article the Dutch show only the gain to the employers of those who bike, why not show and give a few of those millions to the people who bike to work.. I think 70 million is a whole lot of cash, there are only 16 million people living in this country!
In fact I think it is absurd that 70 million is spent on this subject. Better bike paths etc...they do it anyways under other goverment tax money. Take that cash and give it back to the people who bike to work ... after all it was there money to start off with.
