I just got some Speedplay light action pedals and they are really easy to get in and out of. It took a little adjustment to remember to clip in with the foot straight down (instead of toe down first to get into my Shimano pedals). But the Speedplays are really, really easy to clip out of). I love the float too - easier on the knees.

My +1 got some Speedplay zeros at the same time and he is thrilled because he no longer gets knee pain (he trashed his knee skiing a few years ago)
