I won't abuse it but I can't ride 15 days out of 30 but I can stick to the more than 50% rule.
I have a company car yes but I ride my motorbike sometime also and as I don't claim business mileage for more than two or three journeys per month and intend to do some commuting I think I can have a clear conscious.
As to people lowering take home pay to get benefits, one has to know the whole story, so many people are paid less than they are worth, nurses, firemen, some policemen (except traffic cops...) and so many people are paid more than they are worth (me sometimes...) so it isn't an easy judgement to comment on.
I'd really not worry about it too much. Get the bike, ride it to work as often as you can and commute by alternative means when you have to. Pretty simple really.
