What are the different types of pedals available for bicycles?

There are three main types of pedals for bicycles: platform pedals, clipless pedals, and toe clip pedals. Platform pedals are the most common and have a flat surface for your foot to rest on. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes with cleats that attach to the pedal for a secure connection. Toe clip pedals have a cage that your foot slips into to help keep it in place while pedaling.
