Follow these steps:

1. Go through your MA return until you see Additional MA Deductions
2. Select Paid commuter expenses
3. Continue
4. Enter the price of the bike under commuter passes

The law passed late, Oct 2023,  and was retroactive. The state was rushing to incorporate it into the return and admitted early on that they weren't sure how to handle. You can see bike purchases in the list for monthly passes,  So, while it feels odd, it is correct. I imagine the state will improve the form for next year. See page 3 for changes in Instructions that shows sch Y, line 15 is correct for the bike purchase.

• Tolls paid through an E-ZPass MA account
• The cost of weekly or monthly passes for:
  • MBTA transit
  • Bus
  • Commuter rail
  • Commuter boat
  • Bikeshare memberships 
  • Bike purchases (including e-bikes),
  • Bike improvements/repair/storage
