Reconfigurable foot clip apparatus and method of use

A reconfigurable foot clip comprising:

• a foot receiver having (i) a base with a foot abutment surface and a bicycle abutment surface on opposite sides of the base, and (ii) a center axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the foot receiver;
• a pair of sidewalls extending upward from the foot abutment surface, each of the pair of sidewalls having an uppermost perimeter portion extending toward another one of the pair of sidewalls;
• a fastening member (i) having a bicycle abutment wall extending downward from the bicycle abutment surface, (ii) spaced from each of the proximal end and the distal end of the foot receiver, and (iii) operable to secure the reconfigurable foot clip to a portion of a bicycle in one of a plurality of modes, each of the plurality of modes defined by an orientation of the reconfigurable foot clip and the bicycle;
• and
• a strap extending from one of the pair of sidewalls to another of the pair of sidewalls.

A method of exercising using a reconfigurable foot clip, the method comprising:

• securing the reconfigurable foot clip to a portion of a bicycle in one of a plurality of modes, each of the plurality of modes defined by an orientation of the reconfigurable foot clip to the bicycle, the plurality of modes including (i) a heel mode with a pair of sidewalls operable to at least partially receive a heel of a user's foot, and (ii) a toe mode with the pair of sidewalls operable to at least partially receive a toe of the user's foot,
• wherein,
• the reconfigurable foot clip includes a foot receiver having (i) a base with a foot abutment surface and a bicycle abutment surface on opposite sides of the base, and (ii) a center axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the foot receiver,
• the pair of sidewalls extend upward from the foot abutment surface,
• the reconfigurable foot clip includes a fastening member having a bicycle abutment wall extending downward from the bicycle abutment surface, and
• each of the pair of sidewalls extend over the bicycle abutment wall and the portion of the bicycle in each of the plurality of modes.
