Abstract
A pedal having a housing having first and second oppositely disposed ends, and support arms extending therefrom between the first and second oppositely disposed ends; rotatable shaft positioned within said housing and having a first end connectable to a crank; and pedal frame pivotally attached to the support arms of the housing. The pedal can be referred to as a rocking pedal since it can provide an unobstructed rocking motion on a heel to toe axis.
