Abstract
A bicycle pedal assembly is provided for attaching a shoe thereto via a cleat. The bicycle pedal has a pedal body rotatably coupled to the second end of the pedal shaft for supporting a cyclist's foot. The pedal body preferably has a pair of clamping members pivotally coupled thereto. A biasing member is coupled between the pedal body and each of the clamping members. An adjustment mechanism is provided for each clamping member to vary the biasing force of the respective biasing member. A cover is coupled to each of the clamping members to substantially enclose the biasing members between the clamping members and the covers. A gap adjustment mechanism is provided to control the gap between the sole of the shoe and the upper support surface of the pedal body. The front cleat engagement surface of each of the clamping members is designed to hold the cleat above the upper support surface of the pedal body.
