bicycle pedal

A bicycle pedal is the part of a bicycle that the rider pushes with his or her foot to propel the bicycle. It provides the connection between the cyclist's foot or shoe and the crankarm allowing the leg to turn the crank. Pedals usually consist of a spindle that threads into the end of the crankarm and a body, on which the foot rests or is attached, that is free to rotate on bearings with respect to the spindle.
