I love my speedplay frog pedals! Upon encouragement from my bike fitter I tried them out just 3 days before my first big road event (150 miles, 2 days) and I am so glad I did. My DH had been trying to talk me into clipless for months but I was totally gunshy. He was dubious of the speedplays because of the higher price, but he tried them out on my bike (squeezing into my bike shoes!) and he said he thought they were perfect for someone new to clipless.
