  • Publication number: 20110239816
    Abstract: A pedal retaining apparatus includes a driving unit adapted to engage with a pedal. The driving unit has a first magnetic unit disposed thereon and a positioning unit corresponding to the driving unit, the positioning unit has a second magnetic unit disposed thereon. The second magnetic unit corresponded to the first magnetic unit. The pedal is magnetically retained in a predetermined position due to a magnetic force between the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit; when the pedal rotates relative to the spindle, the magnetic force between the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit drives the driving unit to rotatably regain the predetermined position for the pedal to synchronously rotate with the driving unit to regain the predetermined position.
