Carm -
Of course Snapdragon is right on target with her question about the pedals on your road bike... I use mountain bike shoes with all of my bikes, switched from road shoes & pedals years ago because I like to be able to walk when I get off of my bike without tripping on the cleats.

But that also means that the pedals that I put on my road bikes are really classified as mountain bike pedals. I use Speedplay Frog pedals because I like the free float I get with them.
