EASY clipless pedals

Also, with the frogs, do I need MTB specific shoes?

More than likely, yes. Most road shoes have a 3 screw mount for cleats, the Frogs take 2 so the cleat area on the road shoes may not be large enough to accommodate the Frog cleats. Would you consider a platform pedal for the knee? I have a bad knee too and I have found the platform agrees with me when I have to stop and start alot. On my road bike I use the Frogs since I don't have to clip in and out often.

What exactly do you mean by a platform pedal? I believe that may be what I'm using now,which is a pedal with no clip-in mechanism and a strap over my feet?

Platform pedals are the large flat toothy pedal you get on your bike at time of purchase. The platform pedal I like to use is a large metal platform with pins that really grip the shoes and can feel like you're clipped in but you can jump off the bike in a millisecond with these babies.

Yeah, those are the ones I use now. Should I just stick with them until my knee is 100% then, before jumping on clipless?

Do what's comfortable to YOU. I know Frogs are easy to clip out of for me but when my knee is extra cranky, it's nice to have the platform pedal to switch to.
