Well, my birthday is next month and my husband along with family are starting to ask what I'd like.

Traditionally they have gotten me gifts that make me feel beautiful, such as clothing, jewelry, etc. This year I'm trying to point them in another direction: gear.

I have the need for it & it makes me feel sexy. Can't go wrong there.

Since I am new to clipless pedals & road shoes I need suggestions!

I plan to do a lot more riding this year as I absolutely love my bike. A good chunk of the riding I do will be done while training for the HIM I have in June and commuting in town.

Neither has to be tri specific, but I am definitely looking for simplicity like the tri shoes offer.

So far the pedals I'm leaning towards are the, Look KeO Sprints $125. Their carbon version is out of our price range for now.



I am also looking at the Shimano 105 Road $110



For the shoes,

The Lake CX210 $100 (Could support the LBS as they carry these.) Haven't heard anything about them though.



The Specialized BG Trivent $165



Or, the Pearl Izumi Tri Fly 3 which TE has listed. $125
