pedals
Cyclist's foot platforms
Pedals are levers operated by foot.
Bicycle pedals transfer leg power to the wheels.
Piano pedals modify tone or sustain notes.
Car pedals control acceleration, braking, and clutch.
To pedal is to operate such a lever: She pedaled uphill for twenty minutes.
Pedal to the metal means pressing the accelerator fully—going all out.
