Born in Douala, Cameroon, Bedimo was trained at the Kadji Sports Academy and Dream FC team in Cameroon and after playing six matches, he was scouted by an agent. This led Bedimo emigrated to France when he was 15 in 1999.

After spending three years at the academy and reserve at Grenoble, Bedimo joined Toulouse on a free transfer in 2003.

When he first joined the club, Bedimo started out at the reserve team for the rest of the 2003–04 season.

Since the start of the 2004–05 season, Bedimo found his playing time, mostly coming from the substitute bench in the first team for Toulouse. As a result, he either faced being on the sidelines or playing for Toulouse's reserve team. At the end of the 2004–05 season, Bedimo went on to make eighteen appearances in all competitions.

After being dropped from the squad for the FIFA World Cup, Bedimo didn't make an appearance until on 11 August 2010 when he played in the left–back position, and played 82 minutes, in a 3–0 win against Poland. The next three years saw Bedimo establish himself in the starting eleven, playing in the left–back position for the national side.
