The invention relates to a bicycle pedal, especially for BMX bikes, which consists of a solid tread plate and a solid mating plate (1, 2) that are identical so that, depending on the position of the pedal, the tread plate (1) can also be the mating plate (2) or vice versa. A spacer (3) is interposed between the tread plate (1) and the mating plate (2) and guarantees the distance between the treadplate and the mating plate (1, 2). Said spacer has a bore (5) receiving a bearing unit (6) for the pedal pin (4), the remaining strip of material (a) between the bore (5) and the external surface of the spacer (3) being almost zero in the area of the tread and mating plate (1, 2) so that the force is transmitted almost directly from the tread plate (1) onto the bearing unit (6). The tread plate and the mating plate (1, 2) are connected by at least two connecting elements (9) which are arranged at both sides of the bearing unit (6).
