I have been lurking on here for a while. My husband and I started riding last March as a way to have a hobby together. We both loved it instantly and since then he has really picked up the pace. A couple of months ago, upon his insisting, I put clipless pedals on my bike. A co-worker gave me speedplay zeros that he didn't care for. He said that they give him hot spots. Well after several rides and several falls I have decided that I hate the stupid things. For whateve reason my right foot sticks and I have trouble getting it unclipped.

I know the theory of unclip with one foot, the same foot, every time but there have been a couple of times where that just wasn't possible and over I went. One time I was coming up to a stop and right before the intersection the path took a sharp right. Well, that caused the bike to go right no matter what I did and there was no getting that foot out, even though I tried in advance of the stop.

So, I'm on the hunt for different pedals and I'm hoping for some advice. My co-worker who is an amazing cyclist suggested Shimano SPD 105's. My husband uses Looks and wants to get me those. I'm just so confused at this point.

I just want pedals that I know, know, know that I can get out of at any point in time without having to yank my foot 3-4 times to make it happen.

So frustrated.
