PURPOSE: To prevent a danger of injury by detaching both feet quickly from bicycle pedals at the time when a racer falls from the bicycle. CONSTITUTION: A bicycle pedal includes a foot rest 2, connected to a pedal axis 3, which is provided with a means capable of holding a shoe on the bicycle pedal 1. The means 4 can be opened by a lateral movement of the shoe. The means 4 includes at least two clamps 5, 6 located respectively on opposite sides of the bicycle pedal. Each of the clamps, upon exerting a force, can be pivoted laterally outward relative to the center of the bicycle pedal 1. |
