SPARTANBURG - (The Associated Press) - People who commute to work on bicycles would get a tax break under a bill introduced in the General Assembly. The bill introduced Tuesday by Rep. Doug Smith, R-Spartanburg, would allow bicycle commuters to deduct 10 cents per mile on their income taxes. Records would have to be kept regarding riding and mileage.
"What we want to do is encourage people to use bicycles wherever they can, especially going to and from work," Smith said. Across the country, the 2000 census reported less than half of 1 percent of residents reported bicycle commuting. In South Carolina, the number of people reporting bicycle commuting was less than a quarter of a percent.
