ABSTRACT:
In a bicycle having the usual main shaft with a pedal crank normal thereto, a pedal assembly wherein the foot support may be in the same plane as a shaft secured to the pedal crank or below same, such latter being of the underslung type. A toe clip and a rigid support stand are provided on the pedal and being so constructed and arranged that when in disuse, the toe clip will be presented for facile insertion of the operator's foot and with the support stand in operative bicycle supporting position. In one form of the invention, a bearing structure is provided on the shaft engaged to the crank and with a plate disposed on said bearing structure to which the pedal is secured; said plate extending forwardly and rearwardly of the bearing structure and such relationship thereto as to create a counterbalance for the toe clip. In such last mentioned arrangement, the support surface comprises an arm or arms tapering in thickness from the plate adjacent portion to the plate remote portion to provide maximum ground clearance in event of tilting.
