Preferably, at least one of the clamping members is pivotally coupled to the pedal body. The cleat has a substantially C-shape with a pair of attachment portions for coupling the cleat to the cyclist's shoe, and connecting portion for interconnecting the attachment portions together. The attachment portions and the connecting portions form a pedal shaft receiving notch for accommodating the pedal shaft when coupled to the pedal body.

Each clamping member has front and rear cleat engaging surfaces with the rear cleat engaging surface being spaced farther than the front cleat engaging surface from the center of the pedal body.
