Abstract
A vehicle footrest preferably for a motorcycle provides both an upwardly angled flat surface for comfortably supporting the rider's feet while alternately providing a folding footpeg at approximately the same level as the floorboard. The folding footpeg extends laterally from a concavity along the outside edge of the front of the floorboard. When extended, the footpeg lies approximately in the plane of the floorboard which permits the footpeg to be used as a toerest as well as a full foot support. The combination of structures provides a variety of foot positions while maintaining the feet in safe proximity to the foot controls. The footrest allows the rider to quickly shift the position of his feet from floorboard to footpeg and back again with only a small amount of foot movement.
