Abstract: On a bicycle pedal is mounted a disc with flange elements projecting radially outward. These flange elements in conjection with inwardly projecting flange elements on the bottom or outsole of a shoe provide a bayonet joint connection that is readily established and equally readily released by axial interpositioning of the flange elements, followed by a twist. In addition, an lug is mounted on the pedal that carches in a corresponding recess in the outsole after the bayonet connection is established.
