Jesse,

This was discussed on the CR list on or about December 8-9, 2008, and is in the archives here:

http://search.bikelist.org/?SearchString=tax% 20credit&Scope=classicrendezvous

The info on the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) site is the best starting point I know of, other than contacting Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer's office. The LAB Web site has links to all the sites you should need. The IRS may even have some info on the tax credit by now....

Regards,
