4.3.12 Pedals and pedal/crank drive system
4.3.12 Pedal tread

4.3.12.1 Tread surface
The tread surface of a pedal shall be secured against movement within the pedal

assembly.

4.3.12.1.2 Toe Clips

Pedals intended to be used without toe-clips, or for optional use with toe-clips, shall
have:

a) tread surfaces on the top and bottom surfaces of the pedal; or

b) a definite preferred position that automatically presents the tread surface to the
rider's foot.

Pedals designed to be used only with toe-clips or shoe-retention devices shall have

toe-clips or shoe-retention devices securely attached and need not comply with the
requirements of 4.3.12.1.2 a) and b).

4.3.12.2 Pedal clearance

4.3.12.2.1 Ground clearance

With EPAC un-laden, the pedal at its lowest point and the tread surface of the pedal
parallel to the ground and uppermost where it has only one tread surface, EPAC shall
be capable of being leaned over at an angle of θ from the vertical before any part of

the pedal touches the ground. The values are given in Table 26.

When EPAC is equipped with a suspension system, this measurement shall be taken
with the suspension adjusted to the softest condition and with EPAC depressed into
a position such as would be caused by a rider weighing 90 kg(in case of young adult
bicycles, apply 40 kg).
