ABSTRACT:
A bicycle pedal assembly includes a pedal body, a pedal shaft, a retaining member, a disc member, a torsional spring member and a pedal shaft. The pedal body has a frame portion and a tubular portion which partitions the frame portion. A cleat engaging unit is connected to the tubular portion. The retaining member is connected non-rotatably to an end of the tubular portion. The disc member has a plurality of projections which engage correspondingly a plurality of cavities that are formed in the frame portion. The torsional spring member interconnects the retaining member and the disc member in order to position revertably the cleat engaging unit at a predetermined angle with respect to the frame portion. The torsional force of the torsional spring member can be adjusted by disengaging the projections on the disc member from the cavities of the frame portion, rotating the disc member by an angle, and engaging the projections and the cavities.
