Pedals are a bit like saddles in that there are many different styles people like and dislike. I have some time attack pedals that I had on all of my bikes for about a year and a half. They work well will MTB shoes and because I like to walk around a bit on some of my rides that is what I prefer. I had some speed play pedals that were light and were easy to get in and out of but they required a road shoe and a café cover to walk in. Speed plays hate getting dirty and don’t like to clip in if you get anything in them. I ended up trading the speed plays for some crank brother’s egg beaters. Some of my friends told me they didn’t care for egg beaters but with stiff soled MTB shoes I haven’t had a problem with hot spots on 75 mile rides. I’ll know more after this weekend’s Century. But I have Time Attack on my MTB and egg beaters on my road bike because both are easy to use even if you get the cleats dirty.
