Met a guy on my way home last week and he mentioned an incentive program at OHSU, his employer.

I looked it up and found this: http://www.ohsu.edu/bike

Ha! I work there. :D It's a really cool thing and I'm very glad we have it. I kinda wish all of us Marquam Hill bike commuters would get together in person some time though.

Well, good. Then you can satisfy my remaining curiosity -- how many punches needed for the check?

35 and only works Mon-Fri, so it takes ~ 2 months :(

Still, $150 a year should more than pay for your absolute essentials (tires, lube, chain, the occasional worn out shorts/jersey)
Beats a poke in the eye.

They have a rideshare program where I work. If you car pool, take alternative transportation, walk, or ride your bike they give you $2 a day.

Works out pretty well for me with bike commuting. I have gone from tanking up the Jeep 2.5 times a month at about $50 a go, to filling up once or less and having it paid for by my ride share funds.

Free gas = good :)
