Abstract: A bicycle pedal with a releasable binding is disclosed. The shoe, by means of a sole part or connecting part, is pushed into a shoeholder on the pedal and is locked together with the shoeholder. The shoeholder is stepped down from a step-in position into a locked position, in which the shoeholder rests on the tread surface or tread plate. By the swivelling of the shoe around a pin which is approximately vertical with respect to the tread surface or tread plate, the shoe can be released against the force of a release spring. During the mentioned swivelling of the shoeholder, a locking part, which locks the sole part or connecting part in the shoeholder, emerges from the counterlocking part on the shoe. The sole part can be inserted in the holder independent of the resistance of the release spring.
