They are very easy to clip out of. Passive release, so there is no pressure needed to clip in or out. No moving parts, so no tension to adjust. 20 degrees of float, so very kind to grumpy knees and hips.
Several TE'ers have Frogs. See if your shop will let you try a pair before you buy. (try several different kinds of pedals, just like you tried several different bikes)

Yeah!
Did I tell you the expert was an awesome bike? I know you will have a great time on that bike. I wanted to suggest Look Keo pedals if you can't find the frogs. Also very light and easy to get in and out of. My only suggestion, whatever pedal you get make sure it has some float. I mean you can move you foot side to side. Most have 6 degrees or so, thats all you need. Good luck and hope to see pics of the new bike when you get it. A Name? My husband calls his sledgehammer.

Starfish: Oh, don't worry.... I'll be taking pictures like a new parent.
Kermit: Thanks for another pedal suggestion and tip about the float. The clipless pedals are totally new to me and I have no idea what to look for, ask about, etc so I need to do some research before it's time. The LBS owner and fitter know I'm interested but I said I want to get totally comfortable on this bike first (fit, posture, overall comfort, shifting, etc) before I start looking at pedals.

Oh boy!! Matching Roubaixs! I love mine and I put Frogs on it paired with the Specialized mtb shoes. I have really enjoyed putting in the miles on my plush bike and I'll bet you will too!
Can't wait for the pics!
