A bicycle pedal assembly (10) is provided for attaching a shoe (12) thereto via a cleat (14). The bicycle pedal (10) has a pedal body (22) rotatably coupled to the second end of the pedal shaft (20) for supporting a cyclists foot. The pedal body (22) preferably has a pair of clamping members (24) pivotally coupled thereto. Each of the clamping members (24) has a front cleat engagement portion (60) and a rear cleat engagement portion (62) for engaging the cleat (14). A biasing member (28) is coupled between the pedal body (22) and each of the clamping members (24). The front cleat engagement portion (60) of each of the clamping members (24) is designed to hold the cleat (14) above the upper support surface of the pedal body (22). The rear cleat engagement portion (62) of each clamping member (24) is designed to pivot rearwardly upon a twisting movement between the cleat (14) and the pedal body (22). The rear cleat engagement portion (62) of each clamping member (24) has a central portion (70) and two side portions (71). The side portions (71) have cleat guide surfaces (74) that engage complimentary cleat guide surfaces (110) of the cleat (14). The central portion (70) has a curved stop surface (73) that engages a central projection (116) formed on the rear end of the cleat (14). <IMAGE> |
