<p>A bicycle pedal (12) having a pedal body (20) supported by a pedal shaft (22) to be rotatable about an axis of the pedal shaft (22) and at least a pair of clamping members (24,26) attached to the pedal body (20) for releasably coupling a cleat (16) of a cyclist's shoe (18) thereto. Preferably, at least one of the clamping members (24,26) is pivotally coupled to the pedal body (20). The cleat (16) has a substantially C-shape with a pair of attachment portions (140,142) for coupling the cleat (16) to the cyclist's shoe (18) and connecting portion (144) for interconnecting the attachment portions together. The attachment portions (140,142) and the connecting portion (144) form a pedal shaft receiving notch (146) for accommodating the pedal shaft (22) when coupled to the pedal body (20). In the first embodiment, the pedal body (20) is provided with a friction adjusting mechanism for selectively increasing and/or decreasing friction between the cleat and the pedal body. In the second embodiment, a pair of substantially identical clamping members (226) are pivotally coupled to the pedal body (220), with each clamping member (226) having front and rear cleat engaging surfaces. <IMAGE></p> |
