Pub Pedals is a platform adapter for bicycle pedals, manufactured by Canadian based company Pub Pedals Inc.

These adapters are available for both versions of Eggbeaters bicycle pedals and take advantage of the unique scissor action of the their springs. It is fastened by pushing the adapter onto the outer side of the wings, lightly squeezing them together. This compresses the spring slightly and is what holds the adapter in place. Even though this sliding technique makes for an easy installation, it is possible to get them to slide off during a ride. In discussions about this product online, this is one concern about using them.

Construction and design
The initial design process began by creating a wooden mock-up and later transitioning to using CAD and 3D printing. This way, several revisions could be made; printing a three dimensional prototype and then making refinements to the design. The adapters are being constructed with an engineered composite resin reinforced with glass fiber, compounds that are often used in the automotive industry and other heavy use utility products. This provides high impact tolerance with plenty of strength, stiffness, a hard surface, and ability to handle continuous use and long-term stresses.
