How much is the mileage allowance for cycling Mps and Lords?
It will probably pay for itself in a couple of months - especially when they are claiming 50 mile round trips each day.

Bet your life that we are paying for them.

Slightly off topic but weird as it sounds, but I think you can actually claim tax relief at 20p a mile for cycling. As long as it is on business (i.e. not too and from work).

Employees using own vehicles for work: statutory mileage rates 2002/03 onwards: kinds of vehicle
