A coupling unit releasably couples a cleat of a shoe to a pedal assembly. The coupling unit includes a first coupling member, a second coupling member and a shaft. The first coupling member and the second coupling member are configured to releasably couple the cleat to the coupling unit. The first coupling member has a pair of holes. The second coupling member has a pair of holes. The second coupling member is pivotably coupled to the first coupling member by the shaft. The shaft is disposed in the holes such that the second coupling member is pivotally coupled to the first coupling member by the shaft. In one embodiment, the shaft is press-fitted to at least one of the holes. In another embodiment, the shaft has opposite axial ends crimp-fastened to one of the first coupling member and the second coupling member.
