Abstract
A pedal includes a pedal body (1) carrying engagement members (2, 3) of a hooking element fixed below a cyclist's shoe, as well as a casing (7) containing a pedal axle (8) adapted to be fixed to a pedal crank. The casing is connected to the pedal body by a support member (10) including adjustment elements (10, 12, 20, 21) of the transverse position and the angular position of the pedal body relative to the pedal axle. For adjusting the angular position, the adjustment elements comprise a set of interchangeable support members each defining a predetermined different angular position from one support member to the other. The support member comprises an elongated seat (12) receiving the casing of the pedal axle and this seat is provided with a tapping (21) adapted to coact with a screw thread (20) on said casing to permit the continuous adjustment of the transverse position of the latter.
