Abstract: A clipless bicycle pedal employing a clamping mechanism which engages a binding plate on the bottom of a rider's shoe. The clamping mechanism includes two units which pivot about the same axis to engage the binding plate and which may share a biasing mechanism. The pivot axis maybe the same axis as the pedal shaft. The overall structure of the preferred embodiment provides a clipless pedal which is lightweight and easy to assembly and maintain.
Abstract: A bicycle pedal for permitting a user wearing in-line skates to pedal a bicycle. The bicycle pedal includes a crank with a generally cylindrical rod rotatably coupled to one end of the crank. A sleeve with alternating grooves and ridges is disposed around the rod. An in-line skate is rotatably mounted to an end of the rod opposite the end of the rod coupled to the crank.
Abstract: A pedal assembly includes a pedal body having a tubular portion for mounting rotatably on a bicycle pedal shaft around an axis, front and rear end walls in a longitudinal direction parallel to the axis, and right and left pairs of front and rear lateral walls that extend respectively from the end walls in a first transverse direction to form rightmost and leftmost pairs of front and rear end portions. Two forward and rearward anchor members are respectively mounted between the rightmost front and rear end portions in the longitudinal direction and proximate to upper surfaces of the lateral walls, and between the leftmost front and rear end portions in the longitudinal direction and proximate to lower surfaces of the lateral walls, such that the forward and rearward anchor members are in symmetry relative to the first axis. Two force adjusting members are disposed between the left and right pairs of lateral walls in the longitudinal direction and proximate to the upper and lower surfaces thereof.
