A racing bicycle shoe cleat which has a shoe mounting body (20) containing a contoured cavity (50) with diagonal skewed depressions (52) on the inside mounted to the sole of a bicycle shoe. A pedal retaining member (56) is rotatably attached within the contoured cavity, and spring loaded to protrude, exposing a pedal retaining groove (34). The member (56) retracts into the housing releasing the shoe from the pedal when the shoe is rotated solving the previous problem of shoe release, especially in an emergency.
