A bicycle pedal comprising: a pedal axle; a main pedal body rotatably supported on the pedal axle; a first cleat securing member pivotally coupled relative to the main pedal body about a first pivot axis between a first position and a second position; a sub-member pivotally coupled to the main pedal body to move about a second pivot axis, the second pivot axis being farther from the pedal axle than the first pivot axis; and at least a first biasing member disposed on the second pivot axis, the first biasing member being operatively disposed between the main pedal body and the first cleat securing member to bias the first cleat securing member toward the first position, the first cleat securing member, the sub-member, the first biasing member and the first and second pivot axes being arranged relative to the main pedal body so that the first cleat securing member and the sub-member rotate together about the second pivot axis until the sub-member abuts against the pedal body, and the first cleat securing member subsequently rotates toward the second position about the first pivot axis independently from the sub-member during a step-in operation.
