Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019245524A1] Embodiments relate to a pedal secured to a main drive and switchable between a locked mode where the pedal does not rotate relative to the main drive shaft and a released mode where the pedal rotates relative to the main drive shaft. The main drive shaft adjoins to a platform (e.g., a crank arm of a bicycle) or another system. When the user's foot or footwear is engaging the pedal, the pedal is placed in a released mode whereas when the user's foot or footwear is disengaged from the pedal, the pedal is placed in a locked mode. Embodiments also relate to a rod secured to the pedal in a rotatable manner and a cuff coupled to the rod to support retention of the user's foot or footwear in a manner that supports feet of different sizes and form factors.
