Sales of new bicycles in Finland have collapsed this spring , according to the Fashion and Sports Commerce Association .

The association blamed the situation on the government's decision to eliminate an employer-based bike purchasing arrangement that has offered employees a chance to get a bicycle tax-free.

More than 100,000 workers have taken advantage of the tax incentive.
