+ 1 - I ride to work just about every day, and I need to come to a stop 6-10 times a ride. Even if I continued to practice with the SPD-SL pedals, I'd still be fumble****ing with the pedals a couple times per ride - that's simply too much, given the traffic that I need to negotiate. The first ride on the Speedplays was smoother than the 12th ride on the SPD-SLs.
