In dire need of help with une pédale!

So... My girlfriend and I were riding bicycles earlier in the week, and in an accident bent the spindle of her pedal. I figured it'd be an easy matter of replacing the spindle, or the pedal, but there's that nice little fact that the pedal is french.





It's a Lyotard, from her UO-18 mixte.

Does anyone have a french threaded lyotard spindle I could use? A way to straighten the current one?

A whole pedal? Lyotard, french, anything!?

Please, bikeforums, help me fix this pedal so the Peugeot can once again be rideable!

(Sparing my girlfriend, in turn, from riding a walmart schwinn. )

I don't have any French pedals, but VO has some readily available if you need to replace them.

Another suggestion, it's super easy to have french cranks re-tapped to 9/16" x 20. Then you could use normal pedals on it.

If unworthy can't find his, I have a pedal you can have; maybe two.

Banjo, yer supposed to get off the bikes before "interacting." Don'cha want to just upgrade her to a set of Maillard 700 (or if you've really got some spondulick, TA) pedals?

Hi, I just took the Lyotard pedals off my UO-18. If you would like them, they are yours. Just PM me with your address and I will send them out Thursday.
