ABSTRACT:
An emergency release device for the strap of a toe clip for a bicycle pedal. The release device comprises a release member pivotally mounted on free end of the toe clip. One end of the strap is attached to the release member and the other passes through an aperture in a buckle associated with the release member. In one embodiment the buckle consists of a buckle lever, and a passageway is provided through the release member itself. In another embodiment the release member is releasable attached to the buckle. The release member includes a latching member and in response to the pivoting of the rider's foot in the pedal the force exerted on the strap displaces the latching member to its inoperative position. The release member pivots relative to the toe clip thereby permitting the rocking of the buckle lever in the first embodiment or the release of the buckle through a hooking member in the other embodiment. In either case the binding force around the rider's foot is relaxed without the rider having to loosen the buckle by hand.
