Bicycle Benefits is a national program started by Ian Klepetar to encourage alternative transportation. Klepetar bikes to different cities around the US to start up his program with local businesses. The local businesses sell Bicycle Benefits stickers to bicyclists to place on their bike helmets, which, when presented, earn the cyclist a discount at participating retailers. More than 30 local retailers in and around Ithaca are participating in the Bicycle Benefits program.
