so i am going to ditch my clips cus they suck
this area could potentially be quite pricey so i am looking for advice.
i consider myself to be a beginner and really do not know much about pedals and shoes.
i dont want to spend too much money on this bike bc i want a new bike next year (i could just use same pedals on new bike)

also, my current bike is my primary commuter bike.
i dont want to be that guy wearing cycling shoes at the bars so i will switch pedals when i go for long rides (pain in the ass, i know).

now you know. can you please share your wisdom with me.

thank you.
