Does anyone ride a coaster brake with SPD pedals? I think I've only seen straps or regular platform pedals, never clips.
Thanks again for the info.

Sadly, in today's market, there aren't many real choices in coaster brakes. I know of only two: KT/Histop/Shimano and Joytech/Novatech. I'm not a big fan of either but if I had to choose, I'd probably go with KT/Histop/Shimano but it's really like looking for a good meal when your only choices are Burger King and McDonald's. My recommendation would be to grab the Shimano and have some fun BUT keep looking for a nice older hub for the future.
As far as the clipless thing, I ride clips and straps but I don't see why you couldn't ride coaster brake clipless.
Take care
Jim
