Pedal

A pedal configured to couple to a pedal spindle along a coupling axis is disclosed. The pedal comprises a pedal surface for application of force by a user and a pedal frame coupled to the surface, the pedal frame supporting a first strain sensor configured to detect strain in a first direction and a second strain sensor configured to detect strain in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first strain sensor is disposed on a first face of the pedal frame, the pedal frame having a first frame thickness at the first face in the first direction. The second strain sensor is disposed on a second face of the pedal frame, the pedal frame having a second frame thickness at the second face in the second direction. The first frame thickness is less than the second frame thickness.
