Shoe well and truly stuck in clip?????

[Agent XXX]

Interesting and slightly terrifying halt to yesterday's ride

One shoe (the left) is well and truly stuck into the pedal clip. Will NOT come loose, just spins from left to right. Had to take my foot out of the shoe to actually get off the bike and shoe is still on it.

Any ideas on how to resolve this (spd) issue? Disassemble the pedal???

What brand pedal?

Im sure JesusBuiltMyCar had the same issue on here a few weeks back

Does the pedal have a tension bolt/adjustment? I would lower the tension right to minimum then get a big philipps in between cleat and pedal and twist/lever it out if possible

Spray some penetrating fluid in as well to loosen it/clean out any stuck mud grime

Eye protection as well , as when pedals break bits can really fly off at pace!

Many thanks. Will give that a go tonight.

All sorted

One of the screws had indeed dropped out. Simple way, insole out, uncover cleat 'bit', screw new one in from inside shoe. Unclip.

Voila.
