Abstract

At a swiveling stirrup lock, particularly for a two-wheel vehicle with a swiveling stirrup that can be swiveled through the spokes, the swiveling stirrup is supported in a swivel hub to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The swivel hub is supported to be swingable about a swivel axis on a pivot bearing which is to be attached at the bicycle frame. At least in the driving position, the swiveling stirrup is secured by engagement of a rotation securing element, installed at the swiveling stirrup, into a rotation securing element mounting of the pivot bearing. This engagement can be produced or released by rotating the swiveling stirrup into or out of a rotation securing position. The rotation securing element is installed according to the invention at the swiveling stirrup in the region of its outlet from the swivel hub outside the latter.
