ABSTRACT:
A device adheres between the sole of a bicyclist's foot and a conventional bicycle pedal to effect substantially instantaneous adherence and release therebetween without use of manual manipulation, special shoes, tools, special bicycle parts or the like. A first mating portion is removably attached to a conventional bicycle pedal utilizing fabric type adherence panels of hooks and loops of the type presently commercially available under the trademark VELCRO. A second mating portion is similarly removably attached to the sole of a conventional bicyclist's shoe. Mating panels on the top of the bicycle pedal on bottom or sole of the bicyclist's foot or shoe then create the adherence. The adherence panels are used both for attachment of the first and second mating portions to the pedal and shoe respectively, and also for creating the adherence between the bicyclist's foot and bicycle pedal.
