ABSTRACT:
The pedal binding makes it possible separably to couple a shoe to a bicycle pedal rotatable about a pedal spindle and comprises a pedal side coupling part which forms a tread area and, adapted to be fitted onto the tread area, a shoe side coupling part. The coupling parts are separably locked together via catch members disposed on mutually facing surfaces of bifurcated arms of the pedal side coupling part on the one hand and bifurcated arms of the shoe side coupling part on the other. Such a snap-action connection is simple and operationally reliable. Mutually associated pairs of sloping thrust faces on the coupling parts assist the separation of the locked joint upon relative tilting movements of the two coupling parts.
