Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a pedal system is provided for adjustably securing a rider's foot to a pedal without a cleat. At least one strap is connected to a pedal body. A ratchet dial is secured to the strap. A cord extends from the ratchet dial to form a loop, wherein the loop cooperates with a guide feature on the pedal body or a strap. Rotation of the ratchet dial varies a length of the cord, and thereby adjusts a strap opening formed with the pedal body.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a pedal for use on a device such as a bicycle or stationary bicycle are provided. A pedal may include a pedal body member having an internal cavity. The pedal may include an axle having a shaft adapted to extend into the internal cavity. A sliding bearing block may be secured to a distal end of the axle shaft. The pedal body member may rotate around a longitudinal axis of the axle shaft and around an axis through a shaft bearing attached to the axle shaft. The pedal body member may be self-centering and include one or more springs to apply force to move the pedal body member toward a home or resting position relative to the axle shaft. The pedal may be adapted so that the user's foot can be placed on either a top surface or a bottom surface of the pedal body member.

Abstract: An automatic pedal for a cycle includes a rotation shaft designed to be fixed to a cycle. The rotation shaft extends in a longitudinal direction. A body is mounted rotating around the rotation shaft. The body defines a cavity to receive the rotation shaft. At least first and second primary connectors are designed to collaborate with at least two secondary connectors of a sole of a cycling shoe to fix the cycling shoe on the body. The rotation shaft has an annular groove. The body has an opening arranged to open out facing the annular groove. A rod is inserted in the opening and in the annular groove to limit the translational movement of the body with respect to the translation shaft in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A pivoting crank arm apparatus that increases the user's torque. The pivoting of the crank arms further allows the user to quickly move the pedals out of the dead zones at the top dead center and bottom dead center of the crank cycle. This prevents the user from stalling in these dead zones while climbing hills and other high torque or slow pedal speed situations.
The pivoting crank arm apparatus is comprised of a set of crank arms attached by a spindle. Each crank arm is further comprised of a pivot arm with a pedal. The pivot arm being pivotally attached to the crank arm and configured to allow for the pivoting action of the present invention.

The pedal may include an axle having a shaft adapted to extend into the internal cavity. A sliding bearing block may be secured to a distal end of the axle shaft. The pedal body member may be adapted for transverse or side-to-side rotatable movement relative to a longitudinal axis of the axle shaft. The pedal body member may be self-centering and include one or more springs to apply force to move the pedal body member toward a home or resting position relative to the axle shaft. The pedal may be adapted so that the user’s foot can be placed on either a top surface or a bottom surface of the pedal body member.

Abstract: A support interface apparatus removably couplable to a cleated cycling shoe to enable the user to walk on an underlying substrate with minimal slipping on the substrate and/or minimal damage to the underlying substrate by the cleat. The apparatus includes a base pad and a cleat cavity located in the front portion of the base pad. The cleat cavity includes a perimeter, a base, and a cleat-retaining space established by the perimeter and the base. The base pad of a first embodiment is formed of two layers of material and a second embodiment is formed of three layers of EVA material. The cleat cavity is arranged for removably retaining the cleat of the cycling shoe therein so that the user may walk on the underlying surface without the heel and the cleat making direct contact with the underlying substrate.

Abstract: A self-powered vibration mechanism is provided that can be mounted on an existing pedal shaft yet operates independent from the existing pedal. Mechanical isolation or mechanical decoupling permits transferring the vibrating energy to the foot rather than to the pedal shaft and the bicycle. In another embodiment, a full removable pedal with self-powered vibration mechanism can replace an existing pedal.
