ABSTRACT:
A peg is securable to each shoe and is releasably attachable to a bracket secured to each bicycle pedal. The bracket is securable to a conventional bicycle pedal for example by using screws and screw holes normally provided on conventional pedals for mounting reflectors, or the like, thereon. The peg is securable to the bottom of a conventional riding shoe for example by using the screw holes and screws normally provided on conventional riding shoes for mounting a cleat, or the like, thereon. The peg is shaped so as to fit into an aperture formed in the bracket and to constantly abut the edge of the aperture upon insertion. In one embodiment, the peg is provided with spiral shaped slots and the bracket with tabs, which operate together to releasably attach the peg to the bracket in a screw-threading manner.
