Abstract

A device for attaching a shoe to a bicycle pedal, comprising a pedal body and a counter-member fixed to the sole of the shoe and adapted to be fitted to the body of the pedal. Attachement is achieved by means of a tooth which is carried by the counter-member and engages a recess formed in the body of the pedal so as to prevent the backwards displacement of the counter-member relative to the body of the pedal. A step carried by the counter-member cooperates in the body of the pedal and prevents the upward detachment of the counter-member.
