ABSTRACT:
A cycle pedal includes a pedal body mounted to rotate about a pedal spindle, a front hoop having a front attachment bar situated in front of the pedal spindle and substantially parallel to the spindle, and a rear hoop having a rear attachment bar situated behind the pedal spindle and substantially parallel to the spindle. The rear hoop is articulated about a first hoop spindle mounted in bearings of the pedal body and elastic means are provided to urge the rear hoop toward a rest position. The front hoop is articulated about a second hoop spindle which is situated below the mid-plane of the pedal, on a side opposite to the front attachment bar, and elastic means are provided to urge the front hoop toward a rest position. The front upper part of the pedal body is inclined downward toward the front, thereby allowing a greater angular range for a user to click into the pedal.
