Don't like clips. Now that the seat is higher yet, I really don't like them.
Our LBS buddy is NOT a fan of Speedplays, for this reason. He is the most skilled person I know on a bike (road or mtn.) and he had bad experiences with Speedplay. MI is pretty much one big sand dune, so he couldn't keep the cleats clean on those no matter what he did.

I'm really looking at Times, again (they have a discontinued RXL "women's"
pedal with lighter resistance, which sounds good on paper). I'd like to stay with road pedals, since the smaller contact area with the mtn. SPDs on my other shoes was giving me sore feet after 50 miles, or so.
