Thanks for the reply. I also have different pedals that I use the cleats on. I have some shimano pedals that the cleats don't float like that they are on ice and unclip with little twisting force but the pedals are a little hard to get clipped into because the cleat has to be very closely aligned with the pedal.
The other pedals are nashbar and they are set very light. The clipping in is very easy but the float is like standing on ice and the unclipping is like trying to twist your leg off. It is like the springs in the nashbar pedals are very strong and just don't want to let the pedal open up to unclip. I am considering removing one of the two springs in each pedal to see if that will make the unclipping easier. Has anyone else removed one spring from a pedal to get a better operation?
