    I have Speedplay Frogs on my road bike. You're right, they are SPD compatible and they're fairly easy to get in and out of. I clip in by just "pedaling" with a little twist of the foot, and clipping out takes a little outward twist of the heal, then lift.

    Thanks Debra, I am just wondering about the adjustibality of the cleats and how well they work for someone who "toes in".

    I think that the cleat angle on Frogs is limited only by the width of the recess in the shoes. I "toe out" & my Shimano shoes allow for adequate cleat rotation. A little bit of the shoe tread could be carved away to allow for more cleat rotation if necessary.

    I'm pretty sure that the Frog cleats can be shimmed. You could write Speedplay to find out for sure.

    Yes, Frog cleats allow for some wiggle room when installing on your shoes. And as many users have attested over the years, they are very easy to clip in/out.

    Frogs live in swampy areas and make "ribbitty-ribbet" sounds they hop all over the place and judge you with their beady eyes.

    Wait, what are we talking about here?

    Oh yeah, bike parts. Just trying to make you ladies chuckle. (if I succeed with even one of you, it is a triumph. ) Best of luck with the pedal choices, Catrin!

    You know, not to hijack Catrin's thread, but I've been thinking about Candies an awful lot since buying my bike. Given I'm also on a weight loss path, that's been QUITE disconcerting.
