US Patent No: 6543309

Clipless bicycle pedal

---

Abstract

---

A clipless pedal system for bicycles is disclosed. A preferred structure includes a pedal platform and two cleat retainers. The cleat retainers have hooked ends and are held against opposite sides of the pedal platform. A resilient loop encircles the pedal platform, holding the cleat retainers against the pedal platform. The ends of the cleat retainers may pivot away from the pedal platform by elastic deformation of the loop, allowing insertion of a cleat attached to a cycling shoe.
