ABSTRACT:
A pedal has a housing with first and second oppositely disposed ends and a socket-shaped support between the ends which serves as a heel to toe axis and multi-directional pivoting support. A rotatable shaft positioned within the housing has a first end connectable to a crank. A pedal frame contains a ball-shaped extension that is press fit into the socket-shaped support for heel to toe axis and multi-directional pivoting. A cushion pad is adhesively attached to the shaft housing and seperated from the underside of pedal frame by a separation sheet made from a slippery material to let the pedal frame rotate in different directions with minimal friction from the cushion pad.
