Hi Hammer - I know what you mean there is so much good stuff out there it really is hard to decide on what will be best for you. As far as shoe/pedal combo's well I just loved the way my shoes felt when I tried them on and the first pedals I had the bike shop gave me a good deal on and they were easy to use for a newbie. They were Shimano. I decided to change as I felt I needed some float so then I looked for ones with float but also ones that would be easy to clip into. Dual sided entry etc etc. I guess if you decide what details you cant live without this helps slim it down a little. Also reading reviews and you guessed it asking on this forum. The girls here seem to have such a wide range of bike types , skill levels etc etc that someone always seems to be able to give you some advice.

Good luck with your shopping
