I believe a bike pedal is a Wheel and Axle. Its a rotation around a fixed point. It could also be considered a lever because it allows you to exert torque.
The pedal is the flat bit at the end where you put your foot is an example of a wheel and axle.

The crank, or crank arm, that the pedal is attached to, is an example of a lever.
