It cracks me up that seven respondents on the Nashbar page cited those pedals for "reliable entry/exit."

My wife and I have MKS Touring pedals on our city/commuter bikes. I first heard about them from the Rivendell site, but I bought them at our LBS (and lots of online retailers carry them). I admit I don't have much experience with other styles of plain pedals, but I love these and see no reason to try anything else. Very grippy with a wide variety of street shoes.
