ABSTRACT:
A clip device for detachably engaging the foot of a cyclist to the pedal of his bicycle. The pedal is basically a flat plate, rotatably mounted on the pedal crank, and having an opening extending from one side to the other. A cleat that is bolted to the cyclists shoe has a conical section that extends into the plate opening such that recessible catches on the wall of the conical section engage a groove on the inside wall of the opening. The groove is not a complete ring so that when the ankle is rotated, the catches are recessed thereby permitting withdrawal of the foot from the pedal.
