Hi -

I'm thinking of going clipless finally, and I was wondering if anyone here has anything to say, pro or con, about the Crank Bros. Eggbeater or Candy pedals?

I've been reading the reviews, all favorable so far as I can find, but I'd love to know if anyone has any first-hand experience with them.

I'm leaning towards the Candys because they have a platform, so in theory one can pedal some without being clipped in - that's important to me on those occasions when I need to scoot across an intersection the moment the light turns green, some of our intersections have very short-duration stoplights.

I also like the fact that they have a reasonable amount of float (6 degrees), and the cleats appear to be compatible with my Shimano SPD-style mountain bike shoes. Oh, and they look cool.

Comments appreciated.
