ABSTRACT:
A bicycle pedal having relative height variability between a clipless binding designed to engage a cleat recessed within a shoe sole, and a shoe supporting surface surrounding this binding, on both sides of the pedal. The relative height is sufficiently variable to allow the pedal to be used in either clipless binding operation or in unbound operation, on one or both sides of the pedal, respectively. The setting of the relative height between the bindings and the shoe supporting surfaces is effected on both sides of the pedal simultaneously, upon a single actuation by the cyclist. In addition, the cyclist may set the pedal to automatically change to unbound mode upon the release of the shoe cleat from the binding.
