Abstract
A device for preventing the rotation of a bicycle pedal relative to its pin comprises a locking element carried by the pedal and movable, as a result of the engagement of the cyclist's shoe on the pedal, from a position of engagement with the pin, towards which the locking element is biassed by a resilient spring, to a release position in which the pedal is free to rotate relative to the pin. The locking element is guided for linear sliding in the body of the pedal between the engagement and release positions.
