    I was seriously ticked off hearing about all of the pork in this bailout bill. One section that is neat that I wish that wasn’t in this bill as pork but on its own was Sec. 211. Transportation fringe benefit to bicycle commuters. I wonder how this will be implemented?

    Eric you are right….this is priceless.

    I was jazzed about the bicycle provision as well. I wonder who sponsored it.

    It came from the representatives from Oregon.
