Abstract
A bicycle pedal assembly having a pedal body rotatably coupled to a pedal shaft. A bore receiving the pedal shaft passes through the pedal body. A semi-cylindrical shoulder extends outwardly from an exterior surface of the shaft. A bushing is positioned within the bore to rotatably support the pedal shaft. An inner surface of the shoulder rotatably engages the external end of the bushing, so that the second end of the shaft is movably connected to the pedal body without assistance of any fasteners.
