A bicycle pedal assembly with transposable mounting capabilities, comprised of two pedal blocks with a protruding heel triangle, sandwiched together to form two double-sided pockets and a clearance hole, wherein each of the two double-sided pockets houses a ball bearing, with the clearance hole housing a bolt, acting in conjunction with said ball bearings as the pedal's spindle, attachable to the a crank arm of a bicycle, whereby during the process of riding a bicycle, a cyclist may use the protruding heel triangle to make contact with the heel of his/her shoe, changing the stresses applicable on the cyclist's foot and ligaments, thereby generating various health-related benefits, including but not limited to reduction of stress on the lower back muscles, decrease of hip bone abnormalities, strengthening of the gluteal and the hamstring muscles, and reduced chances of injury to metatarsal bones.
