  • Bicycle pedal with a self-adjustable retainer for fastening one foot of a rider to a foot-supporting portion
    Patent number: 7000500
    Abstract: A bicycle pedal has a foot-supporting portion and a retainer that includes flexible first and second retaining bands, an elongated resilient connecting member, and a flexible sleeve. The first and second retaining bands extend respectively from two opposite sides of the foot-supporting portion. The connecting member has two ends fastened respectively to the first and second retaining bands so that engagement band portions of the first and second retaining bands are movable away from each other. The sleeve is disposed around the engagement band portions of the first and second retaining bands. When one foot of a rider is inserted into a space between the sleeve and the foot-supporting portion, the connecting member is stretched automatically to an extent corresponding to the size of the foot so as to clamp the foot between the sleeve and the foot-supporting portion.
