AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0021]The present invention is directed to a shoe for a bicycle which can be easily engaged to a bicycle pedal without installing a toe clip helping insert a shoe to a bicycle pedal and which makes it possible to separate a shoe from a pedal.

[0022]In addition, the present invention is directed to facilitating a more convenient use of the bicycle now that the present invention can obtain the same operations as using the cleat pedals and the toe clips without installing additional parts such as cleat pedals or toe clips.

[0023]In addition, the present invention is directed to saving costs now that it does not need to purchase additionally toe clips or cleat pedals except for the already existing pedals like the conventional art for the purpose of transferring strong force to the pedals, and it does not need to purchase the exclusive shoes well fitting the cleat pedals.

Problems solved by technology

Since the shoe for the MTB is generally made from a high elastic carbon which is one of advanced materials, it is light and does not scratch well.

In case of the above-mentioned toe clip, a beginner and a mania might be in danger now what when a bicycle stops, the shoes still remain caught by the toe clips, not escaping from the toe clips, so the rider might be stumbled and fall down along with the bicycle, consequently causing accidents.

Namely, the shoes could not escape from the pedals by means of a plurality of protrusions formed at the pedals, pluralities of protrusions and grooves formed on the underneath of the shoes and the toe clips engaged to the pedals, thus causing accidents.

As mentioned above, since the use of the toe clip is inconvenient, and accidents frequently occur, a cleat pedal is alternatively used in the recent years.

Since a bicycle rider needs to purchase shoes each having separate parts installed on the underneath of the shoes for fitting the cleat pedals, the purchase of the cleat pedals and shoes costs a lot.

In case of using the cleat pedals, it is very inconvenient to walk when a rider gets off the bicycle on account of the parts installed on the underneath of the shoes.

The riders of the bicycles therefore should carry ordinary shoes, which cause many inconveniences.

When the parts installed on the underneath of the shoes are damaged, it is impossible to use the cleat pedals unless another shoes are purchased.
