Pedal's nickname comes from the word bipedal, meaning he walks upright like a person would.

Due to an injury to his front legs, Pedals is forced to stand up straight. In some footage it looks as if he is missing his front paw.

He made his mark on social media last summer after a New Jersey resident filmed him walking around like a person.
