Abstract
An improved bicycle pedal which positively grips the biker's shoe for imparting force to the crank assembly on both the upward and downward stroke of the biker's foot. The pedal comprises a molded tubular member having a longitudinal bore for receiving an axle member therein and having an integrally formed, generally flat surface projecting laterally outward from the cylindrical member and generally tangent thereto. The flat surface member is notched with the edges of the notch being chamfered so as to be wider at the base than at the top. A cleat of a shape adapted to mate with the notch is attached to the sole of the bikers's shoe. When the sole of the biker's shoe is placed on the generally flat surface, the cleat fits into the notch and a beveled portion of the cleat mates with the chamfered edge of the pedal in dove-tail fashion to releasably lock the biker's shoe to the pedal.
