ABSTRACT:
A device for disposing toe clips on bicycle pedals in upright positions when the toe clips are not engaged by the cyclist's shoes comprises a pivot member suspended from the crossbar of the frame of the bicycle centrally above the sprocket wheel connected to the bicycle pedals, a pulley mechanism swivelly connected to the pivot member, and an elastic line which is carried by the pulley mechanism and which has ends detachably connected to the tops of the toe clips at the open ends of the toe clips. The pulley mechanism pivots about the pivot member in response to the movements of the toe clips to substantially prevent the elastic line from becoming entangled with the bicycle or with the user and also anchors the elastic line which urges the toe clips in upright operative positions so that the user can quickly and conveniently put his/her shoes in the toe clips.
