ABSTRACT:
A quick release bicycle pedal mounting structure including a solid interchange plug connector connected to a crank and a female threaded manual connect coupling connected to a bicycle pedal. The quick release operates by manually pulling the spring (12) activated slide sleeve (9) on the connect coupling (3) perpendicular to the crank arm, which releases the ball bearings (11) into recesses within the connect coupling (3). Thereby allowing pedal (4) with attached connect coupling (3) to be easily detached from the plug connector (2), which is threaded into the crank arm (1).
