I've been gaining interest in trying clipless pedals with my bike. Not sure that i'll love it yet, so I want to get an inexpensive setup, if I do go through with it.

I've already gotten recommendations but also wanted to see what the BFSSFG fam have to add.

Looks? SPD? SPD-SL? Others? Should I just stick to clips and straps?

Talk some sense into me.
