Abstract
The improved clipless pedal comprises an assembly of a generally rounded body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and circumferential edge with a metal insert. A recessed area is formed extending diametrically across each of the top and bottom surfaces. The metal insert fits within the recessed area with its top surface generally flush with the surface in which it is placed. An inset is cut into the circumferential edge to form a chord across each end of the recessed areas. The diametric distance between the insets corresponds to the spacing between the spring-biased tongues of the locking mechanism of the cleat in their relaxed condition. The pedal body is formed from a lightweight plastic or polymer. In an alternate embodiment, means are provided for varying float range of the pedal with respect to the cleat by narrowing the angle within the recessed area.
