Herman Miller does offer more for bikers than just the chance for a $50 gift card. For example, employees are eligible to receive a one-time reimbursement of $100 for purchasing a bike for personal use; we're also offered discounts for bikes, accessories, and service at local bike shops. On top of that, we're offered a variety of benefits for carpooling and working toward conservation of resources--from a one-time reimbursement of $500 for employees who purchase a new or used hybrid or fuel-efficient car for personal use, to discounts for scooter/motorcycle riders, and benefits for commuters.

Where I live the whole city shuts down when there is more than an inch of snow so nobody goes to work. Since 2009, the IRS has permitted employers to reimburse workers up to $20 per month for bicycle related expenses (helmets, repairs, lights, etc). This seems like a fringe benefit Herman Miller would be on board with. Seems like $20 a month would be a better deal than just the chance to win a $50 gift card - especially if you are spending it on bike gear anyway. Kudos to you for cycling. May motorists always pay attention and give you space! Daisy McCarty http://www.sandiegocubicles.com/blog/ That looks like a cool ride.
