First came the Pedal Pass , a project done in Salt Lake City where people riding bicycles could obtain a card and upon presenting it at area businesses, they would receive deals. Add the helmet to the mix and a single sticker that is accepted and recognized in cities across the United States and you have Bicycle Benefits. The Saratoga Healthy Transportation Network saddled up the pilot program. Burlington , Vermont was next thanks to Dillon Klepetar, a college junior at the time. In summer 2007 , Salt Lake City became the first community west of the Mississippi to bring on Bicycle Benefits. Prince George , BC has just recently become the first city that participates and also uses "toonies". Boston , Massachusetts is becoming the first "most unfriendly bicycle city" to participate.
