MTB pedals on Road bikes

[Tuckervill]

Use Speedplay Frogs on all my bikes (road, touring, mountain). One pair of shoes, that I can actually walk in, and I can ride whatever I feel like riding!

I have crank bro Candy's on my road bike and I like wearing the mtb shoes. I've never used road pedals so i'm not sure about the comparison, but I like the metal contact bits of the candy pedals/ crank bros system since its hardier, withstands rougher use.

Also I feel safer about walking in my shoes when I ride on my own and I need to stop anywhere on the roadside/ if its raining etc. I've seen people slip and fall quite nastily. I've slipped on the pedals myself from wet grass (waiting at a traffic stop) it's quite painful, and if its a bad one, can be really dangerous, being on the road and all.

I had speedplays on my tri bike, but when I got my Keen sandals and found out how much I love to ride in them- I put the SPD's on my tri bike so I can wear my Keens any time. I can walk in them, too, which is super nice for a super klutz like me.
Sure, it might be "taboo" to some, but who cares? I love it, and if you do- go for it!

I will only ride mtb pedals with my road bike. Makes life easier. I only wear mtb shoes, too.
