In traditional bicycle pedals, the mechanism that maintains a pedal's rocking synchronicity with the rotating crank consists of a spindle that extends in the interior of the pedal's cylindrical housing that is typically furnished with ball bearings, a washer, and a nut at the endmost part of the pedal to secure all of its axle components in place. To attach to the crank arm, the right side pedal spindle typically has a right-hand thread and removes counterclockwise while installs clockwise, and the left side pedal spindle has a left-hand thread that removes clockwise and installs counterclockwise. The present invention facilitates the mounting of bicycle pedals by using a square end (i.e. the four flat sides to the mounting end of the spindle) and a ball-lock mechanism to secure the pedal to the crank arm.
