Abstract
A bicycle pedal is basically provided with a pedal spindle, a pedal body, a sensor adaptor and at least one force sensor. The pedal spindle includes a crank arm mounting part. The pedal body is rotatably mounted on the pedal spindle about a center spindle axis. The sensor adaptor includes a first fixing part non-movably attached to the pedal spindle at a first point, a second fixing part non-movably attached to the pedal spindle at a second point and a sensor mounting part extending between the first and second fixing parts, the first point being axially spaced from the second point with respect to the center spindle axis, the sensor mounting part being non-fixed to the pedal spindle. The force sensor is disposed on the sensor mounting part to detect a pedaling force transmitted from the pedal body to the pedal spindle.
