Problems solved by technology

The downside of an extended crank arm is that it creates a longer oval circumference or increases the distance the pedals have to travel (pedal trajectory)
More specifically, there is a need to increase the torque and mechanical benefits of the pedal assembly without altering the distance of the pedal trajectory during crank arm rotation to improve performance

Abstract

A pedal assembly mountable on a bicycle crank arm associated with a bicycle drive assembly; the pedal assembly comprising: a pedal which is operably connected to a retaining member; the retaining member including a first end and a second end and on one side a spigot which engages the crank arm to enable support of the pedal assembly by the crank arm; the pedal including a first connection which engages the first end of the retaining member and a- second connection which engages the second end of the retaining member, wherein the first and second connections allow the pedal to move relative to the retaining arm during rotation of the crank arm.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to improved drive assemblies for pedal bicycles, and more particularly, the present invention relates to improvements in drive pedal systems. The invention also relates to a bicycle pedal that increases torque and energy for a given energy input by the rider. The present invention also relates to a pedal assembly for a bicycle that provides enhanced mechanical benefits and greater torque than would be the case if the rider applied the same load to an existing pedal assembly. The present invention also relates to a new type of bicycle pedal that can be retrofitted to the known crank arms of a bicycle drive system, which provides enhanced mechanical aspects compared to the situation where the rider would apply the same load to an existing pedal assembly The beneficial effect is to generate a larger torque. Background technique [0002] The bike is propelled by the action of the rider applying a load through pedals attached to a c...
