Dero Bike Rack Company has created a product which would benefit the commuter and environment as a whole. Dubbed as Dero ZAP, this is a solar powered RFID system which would keep count of the number of times a commuter arrived by bike and transmit the data via Wi-Fi for reporting purpose. This is very much similar to the Fast Pass RFID tags deployed on high occupancy vehicle lanes and toll roads.

Whenever a bike comes within the read zone of a Dero ZAP device, it would read the tag associated with it and accept it with a flashing light and audible beep. After this the information collected will be transferred via Wi-Fi to a central website which employers can access for creating reports for payroll. Also one can even log into website for conforming commutes for the month.

I just forgot to tell you that Federal Bicycle Commuter Act which has been made into a law allows employers to reward their employees traveling to work by bike and offering them tax free prizes up to $20 so this device would now be used pretty often. Gain health and wealth at the same time!!
