Hey Lolly Pop, after I read your thead, and cyccommute responded, I knew I couldn't go wrong. I went and bought multiple release pedals and they are great. I was having the same problem as you and I was ready to go back to toeclips and straps. You wont believe how easy these things are to get out of. I can get out of these easier than my wife can with her platform pedals. I thought on my upward stroke that my shoes would come out, but no they did everything my 520s did, but better. Good luck and I know you'll like them. Thanks cyccommute, and safe riding.
