Bike Check!

Bike Check! rewards you for incorporating bicycling into your commuting routine. Participants are eligible to receive up to two $25 reimbursements over the course of a calendar year for eligible expenses including for a new safety gear, a new bike, or maintenance. More than one claim cannot be filed per month, but claims can be submitted any time during the year. 

To be eligible for the bike reimbursement, you must be an active member of the A Better Commute program. That means you must log your cycling trips on your mobile app- or web-based GoMassCommute account  to earn points towards your reimbursement claim. We don’t care if you bike one mile each day, or 20, but we do want you to be dedicated to incorporating biking into your daily commute. To sign up for A Better Commute, simply create or log on to your GoMassCommute account  and start logging trips!

  • Has an active commuter account with Allston-Brighton TMA
