ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching a shoe to a bicycle pedal comprises a plate (23), adapted for mounting onto a sole of the shoe, and a pedal body (1). The pedal body has first and second stepping surfaces (A, B) on opposing sides and front and rear anchor members (5A, 5B, 31A, 31B) adapted to cooperate with front and rear portions of the plate. The rear anchor members each have a lever that is pivotable about a transverse axis between an anchor position, where the rear anchor members are configured to affix the plate to the stepping surfaces, and a release position, where the rear anchor members are configured to release the plate. A common return device (55) creates a single, adjustable biasing force to bias both levers into the anchor position.
