A crank is provided with a crank axle connecting portion for connecting a
crank axle thereto, a pedal connecting portion for connecting a pedal
thereto, and a main crank portion positioned between the crank axle
connecting portion and the pedal connecting portion. A first insert
member is arranged in the crank axle connecting portion, and has an axle
attaching part having a crank axle connecting hole and an extended part
extending from the axle attaching part toward the pedal connecting
portion so as to following along the main crank portion. The crank axle
further includes a shell member made of a fiber-reinforced resin that at
least partially covers an outside facing surface of the first insert
member.
