changing out pedals
I was going to get new pedals tomorrow, but just thought of something. Can the pedals on any bike be changed? I have a Trek 7200 that I bought last year, and I'm planning on getting a road bike late next year. I don't want to have to buy all new pedals and shoes next year, on top of a new bike.
So, can I change out my current pedals, and then transfer them to my next bike? Thanks for any info.

Should be no problem; some bikes have used off-sized shafts, but most all new ones are standard. Lots of roadies use what are essentially mountain-bike pedals. (I do.)

There are different thread patterns and pedal axle sizes, but so long as you stick with adult sized and non-bmx bikes, you should be okay.
