I've read a lot of raves here for Frogs, but when I mentioned that at the LBS all the guys pushed SPDs. No doubt they carry them there and not the frogs.

I want easy in, easy out, easy to maintain, and they must look good on my little black bike. We ride in traffic so I need to be able to easily disengage without much thought and with a lot of ease.

So why do so many of you like Frogs so much?

Glad to hear you are ready to try clipless. I fought DH for a long time before breaking down and making the move myself. At this point I wouldn't want to give up my clipless.

I started with Speedplay Zeros and was happy with them - but have converted to Frogs. As some others mentioned above, my primary reason for switching to Frogs was to make it easier to walk in the mtn shoes. Not just easier to walk, but easier to put my foot down when I stop. With the Zeros, I was sometimes afraid that the cleat would slide on the pavement rather than providing stable support for my foot. The Frogs also seem to release a little faster which can be important in traffic.

Bottomline - Frogs are both comfortable and easy in/out. They get my vote.
