Bicycle pedal with shoe sole fixing which improves cycling position - includes shoe support platform carrying boss locating in shoe sole slot which also locates against adjustable and elastic stops

摘要

The pedal has one end (8) fixed to the crank, carrying a foot support platform (15), rotating on a bearing (13). The platform rests centrally on the pedal axis, carrying a boss (32) which engages in a plate (34) slot (33). This plate is fixed to the cyclist's shoe sole, the boss (32) head locating in the plate (34). A plate end rests against an adjustable stop (37) fixed to the platform (15) side and an elastic strip (41) fixed to the rear. This strip (41) extends perpendicular to the platform support face, supporting a circular boss on the plate (34) rear. ADVANTAGE - Improves foot rotation, power output and aerodynamics, without using toe clips.
