I'm old school and use 80s vintage MTB pedals with toe clips and straps, coupled with Shimano SPD MTB shoes (without SPD cleats). It's interesting to see how much these pedals are now going for on Ebay. Seems to be a resurgence in people who appreciate a high-quality standard pedal. I've seen SunTour XC Pro pedals go for over $150 a pair, which I think is kind of silly. I have two sets of these on my tandem, and if they keep going up in price I may just have to sell them off and buy something cheaper! :-) They are very nice pedals, though. I also have SR "Low Fat" Compe pedals on two of my bikes.
