Abstract: A bicycle pedal comprises a pedal axle, a pedal body, a movable member, and an actuator. The pedal axle is configured to be secured to a crank arm having a longitudinal axis extending from a rotational axis to a crank rotational axis of the crank arm. The pedal body is rotatably coupled to the pedal axle about the rotational axis. The pedal body has a reference axis perpendicular to the rotational axis of the pedal axle. The movable member is movable relative to the pedal body from a rest position toward an actuated position. The actuator is configured to move the movable member from the rest position toward the actuated position in response to a first relative angle defined between the reference axis and the longitudinal axis of the crank aim when viewed in an axial direction parallel to the rotational axis of the pedal axle.

Abstract: A bicycle pedal comprises a pedal axle, a pedal body, a first sub member, a first clamping member, a second clamping member, a biasing structure, and a restricting structure. The first sub member is movable relative to the pedal body about a first pivot axis between a first position and a second position. The first clamping member is movable relative to the first sub member about a second pivot axis between a third position and a fourth position. The restricting structure is configured to restrict the first sub member from pivoting about the first pivot axis relative to the pedal body toward the second position.

Abstract: A bicycle pedal includes a pedal axle, a main pedal body, a first cleat securing member and a first biasing member. The main pedal body is rotatably supported on the pedal axle. The first cleat securing member is pivotally coupled relative to the main pedal body about a first pivot axis between a clamping position and a release position. The first biasing member biases the first cleat securing member toward the clamping position. The first biasing member is supported on the main pedal body at a distance farther from a center longitudinal axis of the pedal axle than the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A control device is provided for controlling a human-powered vehicle. The control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a motor that applies a propulsion force to the human-powered vehicle. In a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the electronic controller is configured to increase at least one of an assist level of the motor, a maximum value of an output of the motor, and the output of the motor. The predetermined condition includes a first condition in which deceleration of the human-powered vehicle in a traveling direction of the human-powered vehicle is greater than or equal to a first threshold value.

Abstract: A bicycle pedal is provided with a pedal shaft, and a body part and an end cap. The pedal shaft has a center axis. The body part is rotatably supported by the pedal shaft around the center axis. The body part has a pedal shaft receiving bore with a first opening and a second opening. The first opening receives the pedal shaft along the center axis. The end cap is adjustably attached to the body part at the second opening to adjust a position of the pedal shaft within the pedal shaft receiving bore in an axial direction with respect to the center axis.

Abstract: A bicycle pedal is provided with a pedal shaft and a pedal body. The pedal shaft has a first end portion configured to attach to a bicycle crank, a second end portion on an opposite side of the first end portion in an axial direction with respect to a rotational center axis of the pedal shaft, and a contact portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The pedal body has a body part rotatably supported by the pedal shaft and a load receiving part at a position corresponding to the contact portion of the pedal shaft. The load receiving part receives a load from the contact portion of the pedal shaft. The load receiving part is at least partly spaced from the contact portion under a no load condition and contacts the contact portion upon a load applied to the pedal body from a rider.

Abstract: A bicycle pedal comprises a pedal axle, a pedal body, a first sub member, a first clamping member, a second clamping member, and a biasing structure. The first sub member is movable relative to the pedal body about a first pivot axis in a first pivot direction and a second pivot direction opposite to the first pivot direction. The first clamping member is movable relative to the first sub member about a second pivot axis substantially parallel to the first pivot axis in a third pivot direction and a fourth pivot direction opposite to the third pivot direction. The first pivot axis is closer to a point on the pedal axle than the second pivot axis when viewed from an axial direction parallel to the first pivot axis.
