Pedal Pal Volunteer Interest Form (Twin Cities)
Please fill this out if you are interested in volunteering as a Pedal Pal. Our goal is to pair people who are newer to bike commuting with seasoned riders like you who can help them plan a route and do a test ride together. Once you have attended a training with BikeMN on best practices of road safety and route planning, we will match with a beginner pal via email so that you can coordinate a time to meet.
