Pedal edema, or swelling of the foot and ankle, is not harmful in itself. However, it is an indication of something else going on in the body that may be harmful. Usually it indicates fluid retention in the body. This normally occurs to some extent during pregnancy and may be alleviated by limiting high sodium foods, and keeping your feet elevated whenever possible. However, it could also be an early symptom of a condition called pre-eclampsia. This can mean dangerously high blood pressure and cause very serious complications to both the fetus and the mother. When you notice something abnormal, such as foot and ankle swelling, be sure to call your physician to find out if further evaluation and treatment is warranted.

What is the purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread and how does it affect the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle?

The purpose of a bike pedal reverse thread is to prevent the pedal from unscrewing while riding. This means that the left pedal has a reverse thread, so it tightens in the opposite direction compared to the right pedal. This affects the installation and removal of pedals on a bicycle because it requires turning the left pedal counterclockwise to tighten it, and turning the right pedal clockwise to tighten it. This can be confusing for some people, but it ensures that the pedals stay securely attached to the bike during use.
