If decide you want road shoes, why Eggbeaters?

I use Eggbeaters on my mountain bike and my cross bike, and Speedplays (with road shoes) on my road bike. The Speedplays are similar in that they have free float and entry and exit are both very easy.

If you are going to be riding anywhere they salt the roads, save up and get the Eggbeater SL. The C will rust.
