ABSTRACT:
A pedal for racing bicycle comprises a pedal body carrying a toe clip at the front with a strap for retaining a cycling shoe and a transverse stop at the rear which is adapted to engage a recess formed in a cleat fitted to the sole of the shoe. The transverse stop is movable relative to the body of the pedal so as to enable the cleat to be released in use as a result of a backward and/or rotary force applied by the shoe above a threshold value.
