Abstract:
A two-position bicycle pedal having heel stops at different distances from the spindle, such that either the arch or ball of the foot is positioned over the spindle. A heel step is provided, for support of the heel, when the arch of the foot is over the spindle.
Abstract:
A reflectorized bicycle pedal includes a pedal axle, a pedal body and bearing means which support the pedal body for rotation relative to the pedal axle. The pedal body is defined by a plurality of members and has an inboard and an outboard end. The frame member of the pedal body has an outboard end portion which defines a portion of the outboard end of the pedal body and has an opening therein. The pedal body further includes a reflector which is visible through the opening in the outboard end portion of the frame member and is also protected from damage by the frame member. The reflector is positioned between two pedal body members and is supported by at least one pedal body member by sealing the reflective facets of the reflector to one of the pedal body members to prevent exposure of the surface of the reflector to foreign matter.
Abstract:
A bicycle pedal comprises a pedal axle and a pedal body. The pedal body includes a pedal body member, protective strap means for the body member, bearing means, and foot strap means. The pedal body has an upper side adapted to engage the cyclist''s foot and outer sides adjacent to the upper side. The protective strap means defines at least a portion of the outer sides for protecting the pedal body member which is formed from a plasticlike material. The pedal body member receives the bearing means which in turn receives the pedal axle such that relative rotation between the pedal axle and the pedal body may be effected. The foot strap means is attached to the pedal body member by said protective strap means.
