A foldable pedal (100) includes a connection member (10), a shaft (20), a pedal body (30), and an engagement device (40). The connection member (10) includes a first and a second connection ends (11, 12) along a first axis (LI). The shaft (20) includes a first and a second ends (21,22). The first end (21) is pivotally connected with the second connection end (12) along a second axis (L2) perpendicular to the first axis (LI), so that the shaft (20) pivots with respect to the connection member (10). The pedal body (30) includes a shaft bore (31) receiving the second end (22). The engagement device (40) is on the connection member (10) and switchable between engagement and release positions. At the engagement position, the engagement device (40) is engaged with the first end (21), and the shaft (20) is coaxial with the first axis (LI). At the release position, the pedal body (30) is foldable to the crank (1), preventing direct effect of pedaling force and reducing distance between the pedal and the crank (1).
