I came across this one today titled
Lacking incentives, commuting cyclists turn bikes into bucks (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080828/FEATURES01/80828028/1026)
BETHESDA, Md. — As a federal employee, Marc Gwadz could receive a stipend to take public transportation to work every day. But since Gwadz rides his bicycle — a more healthy and environmentally friendly approach — he’s on his own to cover expenses.
Because of that inequity, some private businesses are experimenting with ways to give monetary incentives to employees who bike to work. Google, for example, makes donations to employees’ favorite charities for each day they commute to work on bicycle, on foot or using inline skates.
etc...............
