But the EggBeaters/Candys do look cool (at least to some of us). And they're lightweight!
Heh, in my case the weight isn't such a deciding factor, considering all the stuff I schlep around along with 2 bottles of water on a lugged steel frame ... there is absolutely nothing aerodynamic about my Pokey

Thanks for your input, Kim - your comments are similar to what I've read on the net. Nice to hear them from someone I know (in a virtual sense).

And Veronica, thanks, I've been looking into the Shimano double-sided pedals too, they're high on my list. I'm just weighing the various options before I take the plunge.
