The invention is characterized in that the pedal (1) comprises an intermediate pantograph device (11) for assembling the body (7) to the crank arm (5) producing both a variable offset of the foot purchase on said body (7) relative to the link axis X<SUB>1</SUB> to increase the cycling torque, and to direct the body (7) in a plane defined during the rotation of the crank arm over one pedalling cycle. The invention also concerns bicycles equipped with this type of pedal (1).
