ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening a shoe on a bicycle pedal comprises a mounting support secured to the sole of the shoe and a pedal provided with a claw for retaining the mounting support. A twisting movement of the cyclist's foot permits lateral disengagement of the shoe by means of V-shaped control surfaces which are formed respectively on the mounting support and on the claw and are capable of producing a rearward withdrawal of the claw. The pedal is provided with fixed bearing stops which are so arranged as to absorb all the efforts exerted by the mounting support in a rearward direction in the course of normal pedaling, thus preventing any untimely shoe release.
