ABSTRACT:
A pedal for a bicycle is provided with a foot restraint that is pivotally mounted at one end of the pedal. The foot restraint is continuously spring-biassed into its upright, foot-engaging position, and is collapsible or foldable against the force of the spring, so that, when riding in rough or hilly terrain when the pedal is inverted with the foot restraint facing toward the ground, upon the foot restraint striking the ground, it is forced to fold or collapse parallel to the pedal to obviate its hindrance to the maneuverability of the bicycle. The foot restraint is also adjustable in the horizontal and vertical directions so as to be adaptable to various sizes and shapes of shoes.
