PEDAL PAL and PEDALPAL.org were launched on

May 16, 2014

PEDAL PAL is designed to make walking and bicycling easier in DeKalb County – and to do so at a low cost.  PEDAL PAL is a way for local businesses, park districts, forest preserves, municipalities and others in DeKalb County to promote cycling by placing a decal on their establishment which signifies that they are bicycle friendly. Each location that displays the decal agrees to allow passing cyclists to come in and get a drink of water, use the bathroom and/or use the phone in case of emergency. Businesses that display the PEDAL PAL decal will be included on the PEDALPAL.org website as locations that are bicycle friendly.
