ABSTRACT:
A bicycle pedal includes front and rear cleat engaging members for engaging corresponding front and rear portions of a cleat affixed to a bicycle shoe. A tread cage having a relatively wide tread surface is coupled to the pedal for movement relative to at least one of the front cleat engaging member or rear cleat engaging member. The wide tread surface provides stable contact between the cycling shoe and the pedal when the cleat is disengaged from the cleat engaging members, and the movable tread cage allows the tread surface to move away from the cleat engaging members so as not to interfere when the cyclist is in the process of engaging the cleat with the cleat engaging members.
