BICYCLE PEDAL AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A bicycle pedal includes a pedal body, a spindle and a bushing The pedal body defines an axle hole therein with opposite first and second openings. The spindle is formed in one piece and has an insert portion generally passing through the axle hole of the pedal body, and a threaded portion extending outside the second opening of the pedal body for being secured to a crane arm of a bicycle. The insert portion has a distal end extending outside the first opening and being shaped to include at least one raised bump on a periphery thereof. The bushing is mounted around the insert portion of the spindle and proximate to the first opening of the pedal body. The distal end of the insert portion of the spindle has a diameter through its raised bump greater than an inner diameter of the bushing so as to retain the spindle in position.
