A bicycle pedal system which attaches a cyclist's shoe to a bicycle pedal. The system consists of a cleat attached to the cyclist's shoe under the ball area of the foot. The cleat has two downward projections. These projections feature arcuate tracts for matingly engaging the cleat to a pedal body. The pedal body is shaped to matingly engage the cleat and contains a tensioned mechanism centered in the back of the pedal body. If a rotating force on the cleat exceeds a predetermiend level, a release of the shoe cleat from the pedal body occurs. If such rotating forces do not exceed said predetermined level, the shock or movement will be absorbed and the shoe cleat is returned to the optimum position in the center of the pedal body. |
