They're stationary when your riding, because the cranks are turning. Either the crank or the pedal is going to turn. If the pedal turns, the crank stays still. If the crank turns, the pedal stays still, it stays flat under your foot.

they spin so you can pedal them if they didnt you couldnt pedal them with your foot flat on them if they didnt spin and you had your foot on them you would have to change your foot position every 180 degrees or half a full revolution the reason they spin is that they have bearings in them on the shaft think about it and then go tet a pair of vice grips from your tool box and clamp on the crank arm right under the pedal so they wont spin and then try and pedal you will see that when the pedal is up the vice grips are under it when the pedal is down the vice grips are above the pedal
