What type of pedals do you like?
To disable ads, please log-in.
I just got some of the Look style pedals - they have a pretty large surface area (the cleats are HUGE). Of course, they don't fit the spin bikes, which is a bummer.
I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the Look pedals (mostly because of the larger surface area) and then I'd have to get another pair of shoes to put the cleats that fit the spin bikes, or if I should just get ones that will do both.
Most of my tri club people said stick with the Look and get a 2nd pair of shoes for spinning, but I'd like your opinions too.

I went with the two pairs of shoes. I love my Look pedals, but I really like spin class too.

I have Look cleats
On a spin bike I simply use different shoes
I like the safety of Looks (as in "Raven-can-manage-to-get-her-feet-unclipped-in-a-hurry) too much to give them up!
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

I have a pair of shoes for outdoor cycling and a pair of MTB shoes with SPD cleats for Spinning. I found my Spinning shoes really cheap at Performance.

I have Look pedals as well. My cleats fit both my bike and the bikes in the spinning room. Lucky me!

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

old fashioned
I guess i am still going with toe-clips. I find them totally adequate for touring or just going on 20-30 mile rides, and for around town they're awesome. No carrying extra shoes to change into, b/c you can wear just about anything.
Anybody else still use toe-clips?

eggbeater
another eggbeater vote.
MTB variety. Easy to clip in and out and with a little more float than SPD.

My knees like Frogs, although after STP I'm going to try Eggbeater Quattros.

Speedplay X5. I couldn't learn how to get out of the Shimano look-equivalent pedals. We had a discussion about it here,

Love Crank Brothers. I have Eggbeaters on my mountain bike and Quattros on my two road bikes.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Look Keos on my road bike - I love them. Can get in while standing and accelerating. I use my MTB shoes with SPD for spinning.
