Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle pedal with a crank arm at whose radially outer end a pedal body is provided in the usual way. The latter, with respect to the crank arm, can rotate freely around a horizontal transverse axis (1) that runs perpendicularly to the crank arm, while the pedal body itself (2, 24, 25) can also pivot around a longitudinal axis (32) that runs in the direction of travel in a horizontal plane and that intersects the transverse axis (1). The pedal system also has first connecting elements (30, 35) that can be detachably connected to complementary second connecting elements provided on the shoe of a user. The longitudinal axis (32) running in the direction of travel of the bicycle and permitting rotation of the pedal lies either between the pedal body (2, 24, 25) and the first connecting elements (30, 35) or between the second connecting element and the shoe of the user.
