Exactly my problem. Years of repeat minor right knee injuries led me to discover that the force required to get out of ATAC and Look Quartz pedals was agonizing to the knee. I'm now using Bebops and love 'em with their easy release. I think I need to add a LeWedge due to my tendency to overpronate, but that's not a pedal issue.
