The US used to have a small tax relief for bike commuters. I agree there'd be less overhead, but the proposed system will get people to fix their bikes and ride them.

Tiny tax rebates just get lost in the wash and result in an over-complicated tax filing process. The govt isn't trying to make cyclists relatively a bit richer, it's trying to reduce air pollution.
